terminal tool (linux) for repair corrupted zip files

Solution 1:

try this

zip -FF Corrupted.zip --out New.zip

This will scan the corrupted zip archive and make a new one eliminating the errors.

As a result you will get a new zip file. Then simply run this command.

unzip New.zip

Hope this helps.

Just referenced this question in my answer to a similar one - Linux Mint 12 - how to open a .zip file in terminal

It is worth adding here what the zip manual currently says about the difference between -F and -FF:

The single -F is more reliable if the archive is not too much damaged, so try this option first.

So the first attempt would be:

zip -F broken.zip --out fixed.zip
unzip fixed.zip

And if that doesn't work:

zip -FF broken.zip --out fixed.zip
unzip fixed.zip
