unzip works fine on linux.

What OS/platform are you using?

And there lies the problem, zip or gzip is not available on AIX. give the following command and you will know why it is not working

Code:
whereis gzip

Try sending the file in some other format from Windows to AIX or if you have the privileges then install gzip. You can download it from

ooops !!!!

use unzip in place of gunzip.

compress --------- uncompress
zip --------------- unzip
gzip -------------- gunzip

hope i am clear !!!!
