MacPorts users can install unzip 6.0 using "sudo port install unzip". I have no idea why Apple didn't ship an unzip that matches the shipped zip, but I found two easy solutions: When I tried to unzip a backed-up VM after a hardware failure, I had a few tense minutes as I wrestled with unzip's "start of central directory not found zipfile corrupt" error.Īfter some poking around, the problem turns out to be that OS X ships with v3.0 of Info-Zip's zip, which supports the Zip64 extensions and uses them automatically when needed (so I was creating Zip64 files without realizing it), but only v5.52 of Info-Zip's unzip, which doesn't support Zip64 - Zip64 support was added in unzip's v6.0. I have been zipping my VMware VMs up at a command line, and copying them to backup media.
I ran into this same problem recently, on OS X 10.6.6. Anyway, thank you everyone, but please provide more suggestions on what software that could possibly extract that file. I would try the Windows Vista method as stated by SuperMagic, but I need to borrow a computer for that. I guess it doesn't have large file support as well. I have tried using 'unzip', but it says End-of-central-directory signature not found. It's too late, the original copies are gone, only a large ZIP file left here. I thought I should be able to extract the file if I could compress it. Well, I had made the wrong decision to compress the files, and it's already too late. I have no luck in Windows either as many of my files have Chinese filenames, and couldn't extract to the correct name under Windows.Īre there some programs that can support large files, can handle files compressed using Mac OS X's compress function, and can support UTF-8 filename? With or without GUI is fine. Mac's archive utility and StuffIt don't seem to support large files, and 7-Zip's command line version gave an error stating unsupported archive. I've tried Mac OS X's extract utility, StuffIt Expander, 7-Zip (command line), all failed. I've tried many programs, but none of the programs I tried were able to extract the file.
So I archived all my photos in one large ZIP file using the Mac OS X built-in compress function.īut the file failed to extract. I was trying to move the files to another hard drive.
