Interesting question

[sharifhere]

Folks,
I have zip folder contents in unix and bring it to windows and unzip therby. I tried using zip, compress, gzip commands in unix, files are getting compressed as expected but when I opened zipped archive in windows winzip , it says "No Zip/Bad Slip or Invalid Archive". I shud say here that i used ftp to download zipped file. I even i tried tar command in unix. tar works fine and file is also unzipped by winzip. Now the issue is winzip is zipping only parent folder + files present 1st folder in level contents traversal is not done to lnext folder in level1, whereas level0 is ur parent directory or starting point.

Level0 -> Fold1
|
Level1-> Fold2 Fold3 Fold4

After extract:

FOld1
|
Fold2 (Fold2,3 are missing)

Guys pls put in ur suggestions.
Thanks,
Sharif.S

I'm 99% sure that you downloaded the file through ftp in ASCII mode.

Set download type to binary first.

Like

>ftp servername
(Enter user DI password)
>bin
(You shOuld see "type set to binary" message"

I'm sure your problem will be resolved.
