I can unzip just fine like this



find /file/location -mtime -1 -print -exec unzip -o ;


But I get an error if I try to make it unzip to another location /home/username:



find /file/location -mtime -1 -print -exec unzip -d /home/username;


What am I doing incorrectly?

You need pass fileName to unzip it, also escape the special character ;.



find /file/location -mtime -1 -type f -exec unzip -d /home/username ;
