Error while Unzipping
Hi,

I have transfered a Zip file from Windows to Unix and tried to Unzip it in Unix using ksh. But it throws an error:

Code:
error [determined.zip]: missing 24 bytes in zipfile
(attempting to process anyway)
error [determined.zip]: attempt to seek before beginning of zipfile
(please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the
appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly)
(attempting to re-compensate)
bad CRC b27331f4 (should be b7690c13)
file #3: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 130009
(attempting to re-compensate)
file #3: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 130009
file #4: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 182259
file #5: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 186149

what does the error mean and what can be done to rectify it ?

How did you transfer the file? FTP? Be sure to give the 'binary' command before transferring over FTP, or things will be corrupted like this.

Yes, I have FTPed the file. And I have used ASCII mode to transfer. I guess that is why the file got corrupted. After using the Binary command, it works fine.
Thanks Corona!!
