Unzip SSH file

unzip ssh zip file
Assistant
To unzip an SSH (or any other ZIP) file on a Linux server via SSH, follow these steps:

1. **Log in to your server**:
Use an SSH client like `ssh` in your terminal or a tool like PuTTY (on Windows) to connect to your server.

ssh username@your-server-ip

Replace `username` with your server's username and `your-server-ip` with the server's IP address.

2. **Navigate to the file's directory**:
Use the `cd` command to navigate to the directory containing the ZIP file.

cd /path/to/your/zip/file

3. **Unzip the file**:
Use the `unzip` command to extract the contents of the ZIP file.

unzip yourfile.zip

Replace `yourfile.zip` with the actual filename. If the file needs a password, you'll be prompted to enter it.

4. **Check the extracted contents**:
List the files in the directory to confirm the extraction.

ls

### If `unzip` is not installed
If the `unzip` command is not available, you can install it. For example:

– **Ubuntu/Debian**:

sudo apt update
  sudo apt install unzip

– **CentOS/RHEL**:

sudo yum install unzip

After installation, repeat the unzip command.
