how do I unzip a zipped file on unix server?

[ReneH]

Just need some pointers here, the regular unix commands don't seem to work. Thanks anyone.

Just doing "unzip filename" doesn't work? It does in my shell...

I type:

unzip links2 and enter, get command not found

I type:

unzip links2.zip and enter, same error.

Running out of ideas on this one. Thanks for taking the time to help. Any other pointers?

Hmmm, it doesn't find the unzip command...

Try "/usr/bin/unzip filename"

On my host, unzip is located in /usr/bin. If it is not there on your host, you should probably send a trouble ticket asking where they've put it ;)

Let me know if it works.

or try: whereis unzip

Hello! All

Sent a ticket regarding this issue and it was due to the zipping utility not being installed. Tried it as "unzip filename.zip" and things went smoothly from there. Thanks for your help in this matter.
