unzip fails to extract password protected archive
This is on FreeBSD ia64 9.0-CURRENT #0 r203484M: I've zip-3.0 and unzip-6.0 installed from ports. When I try to add files to an archive with encryption, I cannot then extract them back: ls -al try zip -e try.zip try Enter password: Verify password: adding: try (deflated 42%) rm try unzip try.zip Archive: try.zip extracting: try | unzip: ZIP decompression failed (-3) ls -al try -rwxr-xr-x 1 mexas wheel 0 9 Mar 10:27 try the extracted file is zero length. Maybe this is not supposed to work? Please advise many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Maybe this is not supposed to work? It does for me, but there are a number of problems with the zip encryption (even aside from the fact that it's easy to break). You might want to take a look at the extensive DECRYPTION section in the unzip(1) man page. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
