I have uploaded a vmdk file to my esxi 6.7 host and when i try to unzip it from cli with

unzip largefile.zip

i get this error

Archive: largefile.zip
unzip: short read

Any ideas on what's going on?

You are unable to unzip this because the built-in unzip does not support large zipfiles (greater than 4GB).

You could fix this by uploading a version of unzip that supports zip64. I solved this by copying over the /usr/sbin/unzip binary from a VCSA VM to the host.

This may be a corrupt file! Recently, I uploaded a 20GB zip on vSphere 6.5, it takes a lot. But I checked that was a corrupt file, this may be due to the headers problem.
