I'm able to Archive files just fine. For some reason I'm confused about the unzipping process.

The guide doesn't have much to say about restoring zip files.

Enter 'Archive_name','file_to_unzip' no preceding adapter command should be used.

a: Do I put the input and output name in an input or output card, or does it go in a rule? If in a rule can I pass the directory as part of the file_to_unzip name?

b: What if I don't know the contents of the zip file.... ie.. I'm going to get files with of various data types. Names may vary based on date, time, activity etc... and I just say 'test_file.zip,*' or ''test_file.zip,path/*'?

c: I don't need this now, but in the future, I may have a client that want to password protect his zip files.

PS: (I know zip isn't secure but to some degree I need to take what is sent.)
