Z files can be converted to GZ easily without unpacking. GNUzip is the standard compression tool for UNIX-like systems. Files with Z suffix can be copied to any system, but may not open properly.
Programs that support Z files are available for Windows, Unix, and other systems. On Windows, double-click the Z file to open it. Select all files and folders inside the compressed file. Or multi-select only the files or folders you want by holding CTRL and left-clicking.
Typically, a Z file compresses a single file for backup in UNIX systems. Though more common in Unix, Windows users can also work with them. The most common compression format in Windows is ZIP.
Z files are often used alongside common file extensions like .txt.Z or .jpg.Z. This helps signify the compression format used. When dealing with Z files, ensure you have the software to handle the specific formats.
To open Z files, use WinRAR or 7-Zip on Windows. On Unix, use gzip decompression. Learn what software your operating system requires to handle Z files. Ensure the Z file is not infected before trying to open it. If your antivirus blocks access, take precautions it suggests.
