I have a directory of ZIP files (created on a Windows machine). I can manually unzip them using unzip filename, but how can I unzip all the ZIP files in the current folder via the shell?
Using Ubuntu Linux Server.

Open File Explorer and find the zipped folder. To unzip the entire folder, right-click to select Extract All, and then follow the instructions. To unzip a single file or folder, double-click the zipped folder to open it. Then, drag or copy the item from the zipped folder to a new location.
To unzip a file in Python, use the ZipFile. extractall() method. The extractall() method takes a path, members, pwd as an argument and extracts all the contents. To work on zip files using Python, we will use an inbuilt python module called zipfile.
Sometimes we need to unzip multiple zipped and rar'ed files at once, all in a single folder. In the Ubuntu user interface, this is pretty easy: you just have to select all the files you want to unzip, right-click on them and use the Extract option to unzip them all.
This works in bash, according to this link:
unzip \*.zip

Just put in some quotes to escape the wildcard:
unzip "*.zip" If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
