Hello,
Our system on a Redhat platform is generating
ZIP archives that we then send to another system on a Windows machine. I have no issue generating a
ZIP file containing up to 2GB worth of data and 350k files, I can unzip all contents on the machine with no issue, however the remote system on Windows is using WinZip 17 to extract the files and it has a limitation of maximum 65k files in the
ZIP.
I am therefore exploring the possibility to send them a zipx archive instead, as they are convinced they would be able to handle this volume of files in this format, however I can’t find anything on the internet showing zipx support for Redhat? I know zipx is quite a new format, but I´m surprised I can’t find any library on the internet that I could test on my machine. Any advice?
Thanks & Regards
Yann
