I FTPd using Winscp to transfer the file that I downloaded from the merchant's web portal into Linux location. winzip works and extracts the file very easily, but I am having trouble using unzip command too... Even this is giving me an error as following.

Code:
Archive:  D_R_38957222_20111410.txt.gz
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of D_R_38957222_20111410.txt.gz or
        D_R_38957222_20111410.txt.gz.zip, and cannot find D_R_38957222_20111410.txt.gz.ZIP, period.

Code:
file D_R_38957222_20111410.txt.gz

gives me output as
Code:
D_R_38957222_20111410.txt.gz: gzip compressed data, from FAT filesystem (MS-DOS, OS/2, NT)


Do not understand why gunzip command doesnt uncompress the data in the file when the file command says it is compressed using gzip
