Permission to open archived, .zip files

What Application or utility allows a "user" to open an archived .zip file that they have made themselves. I can open an archived .zip file as the administrator but my user that has limitations cannot open one that they have made so I want to give them the "permission" to open the archived file.
Thank you, Linda

How to open a zip-file in Bridge for PC?

How to open a zip-file in Bridge for PC?

I think it's built in, just double click on it and it should open with Archive Utility. I dunno, maybe Unrar X might work for you>

CAN'T OPEN A ZIP FILE

I have an archive zip file of work. A zip file that I archived using the default utility in the Mac OS. The file will not open and never would from the day I archived it. I archived several folders of work that day, and they others open without issue. The folder in question goes through the motions of opening up but ultimately fails with a message "error code 1 - operation not permitted".
There are no locks or passwords associated with this file and the information window for the file shows that permissions are read and write for any users.
What could have gone wrong with this file?
Is there anyway at ALL that this data can be retrieved?
Since archiving seems to save only a small amount of data
size, is there any argument for archiving in the first place?
thanks,

I have tried stuffit expander and a couple of others to see if there would be any change in the lack of success with unzipping the file. None of them had worked and fail with an error message of their own that equates to a possible corruption issue.
I archived them in the first place, because they were files that I generated in a previous year here at university and needed to archive. The idea of "archiving" to me meant that I was basically boxing them up for use at some later date, but not something I had any intention of accessing on a regular basis. Now I'm developing my portfolio and there are a few works from that file that I need to include.
In the future I will never archive files again. I've never seen a significant reduction in file size by doing so, and if there's the risk of corruption in the process. Enough said. I will simply back up to external for quick access and burn to disc for "archiving" literally into a box somewhere.
For the one response that suggested "CLI", I can't figure out what you were instructing me to do.
thanks for the replies,

HT202731 Open archive.zip

Have a 3 file archive.zip file and cannot extract & open files inside

I have been a Mac user for 20 years. I used to compress files using DiskDoubler before I archived them. As I changed Macs, I moved my archives from removable external SCSI discs to ZIP drives and CDs. I would now like to be able to decompress/unarchive certain DD files, from the early 1990s, but cannot. I have tried the Unarchiver SW but it is unable to do anything with the DD files. I no longer have the DiskDoubler app, nor do I have OS9 (classic) on my iMac (running 10.4.11). However, I do still have the OS9 CD.
Has anyone got any ideas? The DD files are not large and do not contain anyhing especially secure.
Many thanks
Patricia

Is there a way to open a zip file received via email on the iPad? I tried and a message popped up saying mail cannot open the attachment.

You need a third party app. Take a look at some of these on this Google page.

Error when opening a zipped file transfred to the FTP via ABAP program

Hi All,
I have extracted the files from al11 and have zipped them and moved the zipped file to FTP site.
But when I open the zipped file in FTP site, it shows the file names, but they dont look like real files(looks as text)...Even when copied the zipped file to the local pc and tried opening it the result was same.
Note : For testing when the same zipped file is written to al11 and dowloaded from there using CG3y it works fine.
Also created a zipped folder manualy and copied it to the FTP site and tried opening it.....It opened but displayed there are no records in it (which is incorrect), But when copied the same file back to local PC it displayed correctly.
Please let me know hoe to resolve this issue.
Regards
Jithu

Acrobat 9 tries to open all .zip files

Acrobat 9 tries to open all zip files I attempt to download - not just zipped PDF's. Under folder management, the zip file type is not associated with Acrobat and is not showing with a PDF icon. The zip file will not open in any unzipping program, it just goes to Acrobat.
When I download any zip file I get a message like this:
Acrobat could not open "somefilename.zip" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
This happens with every zip file - how do I disassociate Acrobat from all zip file types?

You need to change the file type association in Windows Explorer of the Folders Control Panel.
The easiest way would to use Windows Explorer to find a file with the ".ZIP" file extension and then use the right mouse click to bring up the context menu. You can then select the "Open With..." option, make sure you check the option to set the 'always associate' (it is the only option) and then find WinZip, PKZip, RAR, or what ever program you use to open the "ZIP" type file.

Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD instead of downloading

Dear all,
Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD (via Windows explorer) instead of downloading it tru browser click - it's working just fine in FF, Chrome IE. Is this a known issue? or something can be done by modifying browser setting/pref.
Expecting more advise on this.
Configurations: Windows XP
Safari: 5.1.7
Note: ensured there is no space in the file path, just linked the .zip file using href attribute!
Also tried with .xls, .doc insted of .zip same issue appearing.
Thanks in advance,

Hi
appzapper & such are pretty flaky at removing things usefully, imo.
Use the uninstaller for speed download - http://www.yazsoft.com/products/speed-download/faqs/?how-to-un-install-speed-dow nload-properly
or get a hold of FindAnyFile or easyfind & search for Growl & Speeddownload & yazsoft - but from all I hear, the uninstaller works fine.
Failing that, Safari's settings plist file isn't in caches
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
is the place
& if you're still stuck, test & maybe download another browser using a New User Account.

Opening a .zip file from Enterprise portal

Hi all
I am facing a problem while opening a .zip file from Enterprise portal. It gives the error- "Cannot open file- It doesnt appear to be a valid archieve" for every file.
Is there any setting to be done in SAP Netweaver or is it the system limitation.
Please help...

I hope it will make the picture clear.

Since I upgraded to Mavericks X, I don't have "permission" to open my photo files in Time Machine. Other documents seem to work fine.

Since I upgraded to Mavericks X, I don't have "permission" to open my photo files in Time Machine. Other documents seem to work fine, and I am the only "administrator".

Is the iPhoto library in your home folder, or have you moved it somewhere else?

Can't open the Zipped file

Hi
I am making a zip file using GZIPOutputStream. But I am not able to open the zip file that is created using win zip.The size of the zipped file is 81 KB and the input file is 3,245 KB.I have closed all the streams still I am not able to figure out the problem.Any idea where I am going wrong ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here my code goes:
import java.util.zip.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ZipFile
     public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
          ZipFile("D:\\Java\\Test\\INPUTXML_bkp_1.xml");
     public static String ZipFile(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
          String name = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('\\') +1 ,fileName.lastIndexOf('.'));
          String filePath = fileName.substring(0,fileName.indexOf(name));
          String newFileName = new StringBuffer(name).append(".zip").toString();
          FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(newFileName);
          GZIPOutputStream zipOutputStream = new GZIPOutputStream(outputStream);
          FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(fileName);
          byte[] temp = new byte[10000000];
          int counter = inputStream.read(temp,0,temp.length);
          zipOutputStream.write(temp,0,counter);
          inputStream.close();
          zipOutputStream.finish();
          zipOutputStream.close();
          return newFileName;
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
I changed my code to look like this:
import java.util.zip.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ZipFile
     public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
          ZipFile("D:\\Java\\Test\\INPUTXML_bkp_1.xml");
     public static String ZipFile(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
          String name = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('\\') +1 ,fileName.lastIndexOf('.'));
          String filePath = fileName.substring(0,fileName.indexOf(name));
          String newFileName = new StringBuffer(name).append(".zip").toString();
          FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(newFileName);
          ZipOutputStream zipOutputStream = new ZipOutputStream(outputStream);
          ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(fileName);
          zipOutputStream.putNextEntry(zipEntry);
          zipOutputStream.finish();
          zipOutputStream.close();
          return newFileName;
Now I can atleast open the zip file. But the problem is the size of the file is 0 kb. Probably because, I am not populating the Zip entry. Can u pls let me know how do I do that.
Thanks
Ritesh

Archive ZIP files to IXOS

Hi ,
Can the FM ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT be used to archive .zip files, to IXOS server ? If no, any other function module that can be used to archive the ZIP files?

yes it is true. You can only create a new archive with the added file(s) inside, there is nothing to happen an existing file to an existing zip file.
Good luck
