How do I unzip a split zip file?
In Terminal, I wrote: unzip filename.zip
and it did not unzip this file.
Terminal wrote:
$ unzip filename.zip
Archive: filename.zip
warning [filename.zip]: zipfile claims to be last disk of a multi-part archive;
attempting to process anyway, assuming all parts have been concatenated
together in order. Expect "errors" and warnings...true multi-part support
doesn't exist yet (coming soon).
file #1: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 4
file #2: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 98
file #3: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 471
file #4: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 6635222
Double clicking of this file creating filename.zip.cpgz
What can I do?
