Inspect a remote ZIP archive
partialZipBrowser is a command-line tool for browsing and downloading files from ZIP archives hosted on remote web servers. It can list an archive’s files and subdirectories, helping users locate content before retrieving it.
The listing command can target a specific path within the archive. An optional setting suppresses subdirectories in listings, which provides a narrower file view when directory entries are not needed.
Download files or directories
Users can request an individual file by specifying its path inside the remote ZIP archive. The output option allows a destination path to be supplied for the downloaded file.
The directory option downloads a remote directory recursively instead of treating the request as a single file. The create-directories option downloads files together with their directories and subdirectories, preserving the relevant structure locally.
Interactive and command-line operation
Running partialZipBrowser without a parameter starts its interactive console. Alternatively, users can provide an operation and the URL of a remote ZIP archive directly on the command line.
The documented commands cover archive listing, listing a selected path, file retrieval, recursive directory retrieval, output-path selection and directory creation. A help option displays the available parameters.
What is documented for this release
Release 48 records a merge from the project’s master branch, but it does not explain how that merge affects archive browsing, downloads or command syntax. The README describes the tool’s general functionality rather than changes introduced specifically in this build.
The available release artifacts are named buildroot_macos-latest.zip and buildroot_ubuntu-latest.zip, corresponding to the macOS and Ubuntu builds listed for release 48.
