unzip the zip files to local directory
 

hi all.
how to unzip the zip files to local directory in linux?
thanks in advance.


sarah

unzip filename.zip

If you mean to extract all the files in the archive in the current working directory despite their path, you can try the -j option. Just pay attention to the fact that files with the same name can be overwritten, but unzip should ask confirmation about the action to take.
