I forgot what the fk I'm doing again. Can someone help me with ssh?
 

I have a small utility called " unzip ". I have it on one of my servers.

The file is blank when viewed in notepad, and it's 10kb.

I used to be able to upload zipped files, and ssh in and run this utility and unpack the zip.

Does anyone know the command AND does anyone know if it needs to be in the same folder as the intended unpacked file to execute it?

Thank you.

Google linux command unzip

Unzip is on most unix servers. Should work fine I would imagine.

If the file name end with a .gz then use gunzip??

thanks

todd

no, it would be just .. maybe .. 1.zip

cd

ls

unzip 1.zip ?

Yeppers,

If I see a todd.zip in one of my dirs, I just type unzip todd.zip and it works fine. does dir. structure, etc.

Right, if the file is named: bigass.zip

and you're logged in through ssh, you should be able to run:

unzip bigass.zip

and it will unzip it.

tar zxf bigass.tar.gz (or .tgz) will unzip a gziped file.

Thank you very much. I have my answer now. You guys helped me save a bunch of time :thumbsup :thumbsup

Oh, and " unzip " can be in root and I need to cd to the zip, right ?

yea, just cd to the directory of the zip file and type "unzip filename.zip"

tar -zxf bigass.tar.gz

Don't forget the minus sign...
