I am trying to unzip a 2.5 Gb zip file on solaris
and I get the following:

$unzip dff.zip
$unzip: cannot find dff.zip,...

The version of unzip that I am using is:5.41

Any help appreciated.

thanks

On the face of it it looks like unzip can't find the file - are you sure you are in the correct directory? There might also be issues with largefiles, but check that you're in the directory where the file is first....
 
As Ken said, looks like a problem finding the file.

Can you do an ls dff.zip ??? This will check that you're in the right directory.

I've not used unzip (it's gunzip on our machines), but I presume it doesn't need the full path. You could always try unzip ./dff.zip or even unzip /fullpath/dff.zip One by one, the penguins steal my sanity. X-)
