Repair Your .Zip file

A times you may face some common problems like, “Corrupted Zip File”

Not all the zip files can be recovered but using a few simple commands, you can try and recover the content without having to re-download the file again.

You can easily repair “repairable” zip files downloaded on Linux by issuing the following command;

zip –F “filename.zip” --out "newfilename" (without the quote, you need to be in the directory where the .zip file is located)

Issuing this command will tell the zip command to try to fix the zip file. At times the command above may not fix the problem. You can also issue the following command to make it the zip command work more harder on fixing the zip file.

zip –FF “filename.zip” --out "newfilename"

Hope this helps
