open cpgz on mac Closed

Question

Hello,
I downloaded .zip files, I combined them, and the result is a .cpgz file.
When I try to decompress it, I end up with a .zip file and so on; it’s a loop.
My question is: is there a utility on Mac that can help me decompress it?
Please, it’s urgent.
Thank you very much.

Configuration: Mac OS X Safari 532.5

Same problem, same solution: I downloaded ZIPEG and it works great! Definitely recommended! Moreover, it's open source software. Thanks to Leo Kuznetsov... http://www.zipeg.com

Hello,

This happens when the file doesn't have the correct extension.
One way to solve this kind of problem is to precisely identify the nature of the troublesome file.
To do this:
- open a Terminal window
- type the command file followed by a space
- drag and drop the icon of the troublesome file onto the Terminal window. This should complete the command line with the path and name of the troublesome file
- then run the command by pressing the Return key.

In the response to this command, you should clearly read the nature of the file.
Example:

[iMac-Ritchi:~] ac$ file /Users/ac/Desktop/Receipt.zip /Users/ac/Desktop/Receipt.pdf: PDF document, version 1.3

From this example, we can see that the so-called file "Receipt.zip" is actually just a PDF file
All you need to do is rename the troublesome file with the correct extension and open it.

Good evening
thank you for the solution I tried it but it gives me no extension it just tells me DATA

macbook-pro-de-ahmed-laroui:~ ahmedlaroui$ file /Users/ahmedlaroui/Desktop/fcp/FCS._.Inst._.Fi3nD.zip
/Users/ahmedlaroui/Desktop/fcp/FCS._.Inst._.Fi3nD.zip: data

here is the message maybe it names the folder DATA according to my intuition.

thank you

I have the same issue as Ahmed. I thought I saw that there are .dat, .data files on macOS. But how can I know which one?  Thank you, well done.

I have the same problem. A friend split a too large file into file.zip.001 to 007. In theory, by unzipping file.zip.001 I should be able to recover everything and concatenate. I'm not getting anywhere because file.zip.001 unzips to file.cpgz and then back to zip, etc., in a loop.
Which utility could help me out?

Good evening, I really think I'm lost because even the software you're suggesting is ineffective, however, I know that the file I need to unzip is an After Effects file but it also does this on another compressed Photoshop file making it impossible to open—it's an endless loop and the worst part is that I really need this After Effects file!

Change the default application for 'unzipping' by using StuffIt Expander, for example.

Same problem with a zip file on OSX, but I managed to open it on Win7 with WinRAR...
