Free opening zip files software for linux

OpenVPN is a full-featured SSL VPN solution which can accomodate a wide range of configurations, including remote access, site-to-site VPNs, WiFi security, and enterprise-scale remote access solutions with load balancing, failover, and fine-grained access-controls (articles) (examples) (security overview) (non-english languages).
OpenVPN implements OSI layer 2 or 3 secure network extension using the industry standard SSL/TLS protocol, supports flexible client authentication methods based on certificates, smart cards, and/or 2-factor authentication, and allows user or group-specific access control policies using firewall rules applied to the VPN virtual interface.
OpenVPN is not a web application proxy and does not operate through a web browser.
Enhancements:
- Fixed regression bug in Win32 installer, introduced in 2.0.1, which incorrectly set OpenVPN service to autostart.
- Dont package source code zip file in Windows installer in order to reduce the size of the installer. The source zip file can always be downloaded separately if needed.
- Fixed bug in route.c in FreeBSD, Darwin, OpenBSD and NetBSD version of get_default_gateway. Allocated socket for route manipulation is never freed so number of mbufs continuously grow and exhaust system resources after a while.
- Fixed bug where "--proto tcp-server --mode p2p --management host port" would cause the management port to not respond until the OpenVPN peer connects.
- Modified pkitool script to be /bin/sh compatible

p7zip is a port of 7za.exe for POSIX systems like Unix (Linux, Solaris, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Cygwin, ...), MacOS X and BeOS.
7za.exe is the command line version of 7-zip.
7-Zip is a file archiver with highest compression ratio.
Since 4.10, p7zip (like 7-zip) supports little-endian and big-endian machines.
INSTALL:
method 1
- edit install.sh to change DEST_HOME
- ./install.sh : to install
Remark : you must be "root" to install 7za in the directory "/usr/local"
method 2
- 7za is a stand-alone program, you can put this program where you want. example : cp bin/7za /usr/local/bin/7za
- 7z needs its plugins. You must copy the file 7z and the two directories Formats and Codecs in the same destination directory.
- if you want to be able to create SFX archive, copy bin/7zCon.sfx to the directory where 7za or 7z can be found.
Enhancements:
- Bug was fixed: 7-Zip 4.50 beta could not open some .7z archives.
New switch for command line version:
-ssc[-] enables/disables case-sensitive mode for file names.
- Speed optimizations for AES encryption.
- Some bugs were fixed.
- fix built of test_emul
- contrib/gzip-like_CLI_wrapper_for_7z/p7zip now supports commands like :
p7zip -- -name
p7zip "file name"
p7zip file1 file2 file3
p7zip -d file1.7z file2.7z file3.7z

metazip project is an Apache 2.0 module that allows you to serve dynamically-constructed, uncompressed zip files. Thus, your users can choose to download individual files or entire collections, but you dont have to reserve disk space for both.
Main features:
- Extremely efficient, by hooking into Apaches filter system.
- Works equally well for zip, tar, and other archive files.
- Supports resumption of aborted downloads.
- Lightweight, self-contained C implementation.
- Free, open source license (Apache).
Version restrictions:
- Works for uncompressed archives only.
- Requires command line utility to construct .zip.mz "template" file.
- Currently only supported on Linux with GNU bash, gcc, and make.
metazip works by comparing a real, uncompressed archive to the files it contains. It then constructs a special .mz file that contains the "difference" between the files and the archive. This difference contains the metadata that the archive tool uses to extract the files. metazip does not interpret this metadata; it simply records it in the .mz file. After the .mz file has been created, the original archive file can be deleted. Simply place the newly-created .mz file in the same directory as the files it references. The mz command-line utility takes care of most of the details.
When the .mz file is requested, metazip "glues together" the files and the contents of the .mz file to reconstruct the archive file. Because metazip hooks into Apaches filter system, Apache handles all of the heavy lifting. metazip merely creates some high-level data structures.
Therefore, metazips overhead is practically negligible. In addition, Apaches normal functions for resuming aborted downloads, calculating the content length, setting headers, etc. work identically for static files and for metazips dynamically-generated output.
[Note: The only "catch" is that metazip must be prepared to handle its input in arbitrary-sized chunks (called "bucket brigades" in Apache-speak), even though in practice the input will generally be in one large buffer (because its input is the small .mz file). This is reflected in metazips code structure (in metazip.c), but is completely transparent to you.]

The Apache::FileManager module is a simple HTML file manager. It provides file manipulations such as cut, copy, paste, delete, rename, extract archive, create directory, create file, edit file, and upload files.
It also has the ability to rsync the server htdocs tree to another server with the click of a button.
Enhancements:
- prevented file edit screen from opening when cancel is clicked when creating new filenames
- fixed up documentation

autopkg.pl provides a tool that generates Slackware packages from source tarballs, RPMs, and debs.
The main goal of autopkg.pl is to build software and make a Slackware package without having to make a build script of some kind.
A single config file can specify the compile-time options for every program compiled with autopkg.pl.
The packages are created in their own build directories and never installed unless you want them installed.
A setuid-root wrapper allows normal users to create packages (with proper user/group listings and permissions) and optionally install them depending upon a list of trusted users.
Optional "hint files" can also help a broken or not-that-well-set-up package to be compiled and packaged properly (samples included).
Enhancements:
- Renamed --force-show-help to --force-configure to avoid confusion.
- Support for Imakefiles
- Fixed a doc-installing permissions bug with sautopkg.pl
- Support for creating packages from zip files (i.e. jasper)
- autogen.sh only run if configure and makefile not found
- Fixed possible bug with perl module installing
- Useful new shell script functionality for hint files (see README.HINTS file for details).
- Updated the README to take some of the crap out of autopkg.pls usage message and reflect the right version number.
- Renamed the sautopkg.pl wrapper to sautopkg as its not a perl script.

ROX-Filer is a fast and powerful graphical file manager for the X Window System.
You can use ROX-Filer as a small and fast filer within your current desktop......or get it to manage your pinboard, panels and applications.
Main features:
- Fast scanning of directories (in the background),
- Uncluttered display (popup menus are used throughout),
- Background file operations (copy, move, link, delete, permissions, find),
- Powerful expression-based find feature with on-line quick reference (eg mtime after 2 days ago and size > 10Mb finds files based on their modification time and size)
- Mounts and unmounts filesystems (just Shift-Click on the mount point),
- Supports the XDND protocol, which provides for drag-and-drop file loading, and the new XDS extension which allows drag-and-drop saving,
- VfS support allows browsing around inside zip files (and other types of archive),
- Fully configurable from the Options dialog box,
- User-defined key bindings for all menu entries,
- A pop-up minibuffer allows navigating the filesystem using shell-style tab completion,
- The minibuffer can also be used for quickly entering shell commands,
- Full manual provided (HTML format),
Other features:
XDND
A common drag-and-drop protocol used, for example, by the GNOME desktop[GNOME]. This allows data to be loaded into an application by dragging it from a filer window to a program. The full specification is given in [DND].
XDS
An extension to XDND that allows applications to save data by dragging an icon back to a filer window. The full specification is given in [XDS].
Choices
A simple, but flexible, system for managing user choices. See [Choices] for details.
Application directories
Self contained relocatable applications, where installation is as simple as copying it to where you want it and uninstalling it is just a matter of deleting a directory. Described later in this documentation.
Thumbnails
The filer can be made to display image files by using the image itself for the icon, instead of a generic `this-is-an-image icon. Very useful for organising a directory full of photos! See [Thumbs] for details (spec is still in developement).
Shared MIME Info Database
In the past, each desktop had its own database of rules for determining the type of files. The Shared MIME Info Database[SharedMIME] unifies these into a single system shared by all desktops.
Icon Themes
Collections of file icons, called themes, can be installed (eg, to `~/.icons). You can switch between themes in the Options box. Once other desktops support this fully, themes will be sharable between desktops.
DNotify support (Linux only)
If used with a recent Linux kernel (2.4.x series), the filer will notice changes to directories automatically. On other systems, directories will update when the pointer is moved over them.
Enhancements:
- Some problems with session management were fixed.
- This makes it easier to use ROX-Filer with gnome-session and similar software.
- When creating thumbnails, this release can use a thumbnail embedded in an EXIF image, which speeds things up.
- A couple of build problems were fixed.
