Hi, I want to use gunzip on linux to "uncompress" a winzip file
The size of the zipped file is around 13GB, while the actual filesize id around 53GB. This is whats happening. (I checked on the web and found similar errors, but no solutions) In the meantime we us Putty's pscp. Hope this will be fixed one day. 5439502 drwxr-xr-x 22 sybase root 4096 Aug 27 08:47 .. 23019540 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13745823481 Aug 28 17:00 Lifetrack01.zip 23019539 drwxr-xr-x 2 sybase root 4096 Aug 29 13:31 .
