Unzip: cannot find or open file.zip

When extracting the contents of a corrupted .zip file, unzip will display the error:

"unzip: cannot find or open file.zip, file.zip.zip or file.zip.ZIP."

Before you move the .zip, be sure to run a test on the .zip:

#unzip -t file.zip

If the test fails, recreate the archive with tar or gzip.

For solve similar problems I recommend to use this tool-open broken zip files,it has many resources and has free status as far as I can see,it can work under all supported versions of this operating system,extremely easy to use, when the program is installed, you can see a file selection dialog, you can choose any file with *.zip extension, including self-extracting archives,program has a powerful engine, that can work with several different algorithms of analysis, it features an easy graphic interface, that will easily guide you through several simple steps of recovery process,tool can work with password-protected files.
