Java Download and Unzip file?

[server guy]

used to have something like this awhile ago and im in need of one.


what im looking for a .jar or the .java/.class files needing it to download a .zip from a direct link and extract it to a specified directory.

does anyone have something like this lying around or could whip one up for me?

These two links should help you. If you want premade code, you can search Google a bit more. It should be easy to make if you know some java.

think before you post please, winrar simply just unzips/unrars formats it doesn't fetch from a certain url download and extract it where it needs to go.

You could use the ZipInputStream the Java api provides. Simply make a HttpURLConnection to a webserver and download the file then open a FileInputStream and read it into a ZipInputStream.
