[resolved] Unarchive multiple zip files using tFileUnarchive

Hi guys,
I'm using an FTP connection to get a .zip file from my FTP.
I saved all that .zip files on my documents and then planning to extract all of it in just one job.
is it possible to unzip or unarchived all the .zip files in one folder using tFileUnarchive?
Note: I already did this in only ONE .zip file and it worked. I'm planning to do it for multiple .zip files.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
tFTPget will put the .zip files into your local disk, after that you need a tFileList to fetch them together and then unarchived.
First of all, make sure the zip files got from FTP are saved in your Disk.
The work flow should be as my screenshot

Hi,
I have seen your pic, the work flow is correct but not the connection. Please see the Connection types
There is a scenario in component reference tFTPFileList, it will be helpful for your case.

I checked the connection. But still it cannot find the .zip file?
All I can do is to select only one zip file and it will take time.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Did you set the mask "*.zip" in tFTPFileList? And the Supplier.zip file indeed exist in your FTP? I will make a testing on FTP to see if this issue repro. In addition, there is no error in local studio without FTP. I have make a testing before and it is possible Unarchive multiple zip files using tFileUnarchive.
Best regards
