FlashFXP Forums - View Single Post - [Fixed] 226-Zip: File is Bad!

This problem was indeed reported some time ago and I've tested several zip files that were marked as bad using unzip.exe from info-zip.

Those archives have a truncated zip comment. The zip file is then considered as bad (read: corrupted) but can (may ?) still be extracted.
Open those archives and search for *.nfo files with funny timestamps and you'll know what other script has corrupted the zips while adding new files. As FTPServerTools said, "not every zip implementation is correct".

PS: I've marked this thread as fixed because this "problem" no longer exists in my current version.
