I have been zipping my VMware VMs up at a command line, and copying them to backup media. I ran into this same problem recently, on OS X 10.6.6. Anyway, thank you everyone, but please provide more suggestions on what software that could possibly extract that file. I would try the Windows Vista method as stated by SuperMagic, but I need to borrow a computer for that. I guess it doesn't have large file support as well. I have tried using 'unzip', but it says End-of-central-directory signature not found. It's too late, the original copies are gone, only a large ZIP file left here. I thought I should be able to extract the file if I could compress it. Well, I had made the wrong decision to compress the files, and it's already too late. I have no luck in Windows either as many of my files have Chinese filenames, and couldn't extract to the correct name under Windows.Īre there some programs that can support large files, can handle files compressed using Mac OS X's compress function, and can support UTF-8 filename? With or without GUI is fine. Mac's archive utility and StuffIt don't seem to support large files, and 7-Zip's command line version gave an error stating unsupported archive. I've tried Mac OS X's extract utility, StuffIt Expander, 7-Zip (command line), all failed. I've tried many programs, but none of the programs I tried were able to extract the file. So I archived all my photos in one large ZIP file using the Mac OS X built-in compress function.īut the file failed to extract.
You will then be presented (if there are any duplicate files being uncompressed with the following: replace duplicatefile.I was trying to move the files to another hard drive. Once your in that directory you just need to type this: unzip \*.zip
Open Terminal and navigate to the directory where all the zip files are stored.įor the purpose of this articale, I might have them stored in a zip folder on my desktop. Rather than double-clicking each *.zip file (which most of the time creates folders for each file extracted) you can run a command from the Terminal which will extract all the files in to the same directory. Example: you have these files HypotheticalFILE1.zip With OSX you can run a simple terminal command and extracted all the files into the same directory without the need of a third party application. Time to time you will come across multiple compressed files who's internal files need to be uncompressed into the same directory.
