dear guys,

i have a server with a centos installed on it and the kloxo panel too. I have a problem with unzipping files.

PHP Code:


			
[root@server files]# unzip Ensan-va-Eslam.zip

Archive:  Ensan-va-Eslam.zip

  inflating: Ensan va Eslam.pdf

  inflating: www.afdownload.com.txt

  inflating: www.afdownload.com.jpg

PHP Code:


			
[root@server files]# unzip WinRAR-4.00_Beta-5_(AFDownload.com).zip

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

the first file has no directories inside and extracted successfully but the second file which contains directories can not be extracted. this problem is about all .zip files in the server. please help me out!

Code:

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

Actually this is a shell error not an unzip fault. The parentheses have a special meaning in bash, so that you have either to escape them or embed the file name in double or single quotes:

Code:

unzip WinRAR-4.00_Beta-5_\(AFDownload.com\).zip 
unzip "WinRAR-4.00_Beta-5_(AFDownload.com).zip"

thanks colucix,

unzip "WinRAR-4.00_Beta-5_(AFDownload.com).zip"
this helped me extract the file in linux,

but now comes the real problem, actually as I said I have KLOXO installed at the server, the same files cannot be extracted through the KLOXO panel. what should I do there? what is the problem with KLOXO?
