Hello ,
I am trying to unzip a file with the size of 2GB
I am getting the following error : 
unzip CLTE_C_08.zip
Archive: CLTE_C_08.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of CLTE_C_08.zip or CLTE_C_08.zip.zip, and cannot find CLTE_C_08.zip.ZIP, period.
After some googling, some people say that this error is because the file is too big, others say because file is corrupt, others say that it could be a not unix archive.
So my question , how to find out if file is valid archive file on my Centos and what is the command/trick to uncompress big files ( if any )
Thanks in advance :)
