I need to unzip a .zip file which is password protected.
I am able to unzip the .zip file using a windows PC with 7zip.
I tried several tools Keka, iZIP, unarchiver ... and got always an answer like this "...wrong password". But I proofed the password with the windows PC.
So I tried it with commandline, in this way:
unzip -P password my.zip -d my_folder
But I see the following error:
...unsupported compression method 99
So how can I unzip this file under MAC OS X?
Not a real solution, but if you can unzip it on a PC, why not just unzip it there, then put it in a different archive with no password for your Mac? – seagull – 2017-06-23T11:38:42.763
What was used to to create the zip file in the first place? – Kinnectus – 2017-06-23T11:44:35.957
Is there something special about the password - non-standard character set etc? I unzip password-protected zip files all the time, using nothing more than the built-in Unarchiver. – Tetsujin – 2017-06-23T11:44:55.393
Because I will get these archive via e-mail being on road and I only have a windows PC desktop in the office – Thorsten – 2017-06-23T13:05:06.020
No password is plain forward, nothing special. Only standard charakters. – Thorsten – 2017-06-23T13:05:37.343
I do not have configuration used for building the archive. I only know it was made by 7zip. – Thorsten – 2017-06-23T13:06:14.647
