Fixing corrupted zip files in Linux

March 12th, 2009

In a recent google search I found that you can run the following command to fix up corrupted zip files

zip -F “filename.zip”

I have been on the download marathon, I’ve currently pulled down around 20GB of VMWare images for work, so that I can do some prep / study in the few weeks that I am home, and surprise surprise one of the 5gb zip files is corrupt!

Happily it looks like the above command has saved the day and my download quota.
