I have a zipped file of 3.5 GB

and unable to unzip it

am getting

unzip: cannot find done.zip, done.zip.zip or done.zip.ZIP

using unzip version 5.50

thanks

Hmmm ...

and what's the files actual name and location? My suspicion
would be that there's maybe a trailing or leading space in the
name, or maybe some other non-printing character ...

And how is this a programming question? :}

Thanks for the help!

Am sure about the file name that I had given for the unzip utility and its exactly correct.

For I could confirm this by that I had taken backup of the down.zip file prior to unzipping that.
Had there been any other characters in that, cp would have reported that there is no such file.

Am wondering, why unzip is not even considering the file for the operation !

In your first post you have a file called done.zip
In the second post it is down.zip

???

sorry for the typo,

it should be done.zip


down.zip is a different file which worked perfectly!

Any help!

What happens when you test the archive?
unzip -tq done.zip

Also if all else fails... 5.50 has been replaced by 5.52

this is what I get!

unzip -tq done.zip
unzip: cannot find done.zip, done.zip.zip or done.zip.ZIP


Am surprised, why unzip is not even selecting the file for consideration to unzip it.

Thanks again!

Two other thoughts...

unzip -tq \*.zip

and is it a problem with the size of the archive 3+Gb is quite substantial, have you managed to open another archive of similar size?

Thanks for the continued response

And specifically am having this problem only for the zip files which have a size
greater than 2 GB and not for the other files

2GB rings a bell with regard to a limit on file sizes...
unzip 5.50 was released in 2002, it might be worth upgrading to 2.52 (2005)

However from unzip's faq

compressed size of a single file
4 GB

In practice, the real limit may be 2 GB on many systems, due to UnZip's use of the fseek() function to jump around within an archive. Because's fseek's offset argument is usually a signed long integer, on 32-bit systems UnZip will not find any file that is more than 2 GB from the beginning of the archive. And on 64-bit systems, UnZip won't find any file that's more than 4 GB from the beginning (since the zipfile format can only store offsets that big). So the last file in the archive can potentially be arbitrarily large (in theory, anyway--we haven't tested this), but the combined total of all the rest must be less than 2 GB or 4 GB, respectively.

I think the InfoZip version - the one included in most distros - will not work with files bigger than 2gb.

You could try p7zip - I don't know if Fedora has it, but most likely. After you install it, you get a command "7z". Then try "7z e zipfilename". If it doesn't work, try a newer version of p7zip. You can get source at http://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/ and compile it yourself.

what happens when you do
does that command find it?

Your not working as root and thus the file is not in your path??


Sorry just a wild stab in the dark.

Why should I be a root to do this operation?

And it is very much available in the path, and no other hidden charactes as part of filename.

That has been verified.

Thanks for the response !
