The link example you provided in your comment is trying to deal with a zip that contains zipped files (a zip of zips).
If you are talking about a single zip that contains a directory tree with subfiles, this is relatively easy to do.
-
After ingesting your zip file via GetHTTP feed it to an "UnpackContent" processor and then to a "PutFile" processor.
-
When the "UnpackContent" processor unzips the source file, it will create a new FlowFile for each unique file found. A variety of FlowFile attributes will be set on each of those generated FlowFiles. This includes the "path"
In the above example I created a directory named "zip-root" and created 4 sub-directories within that zip-root directory. I then created one file in each of those subdirectories. I then zipped (zip -r zip-root.zip zip-root) up the zip-root directory named zip-root.zip. The above screenshots shows just one of those unpacked files.
-
After "UnpackContent" executed, it produced 4 new FlowFile (one for each file found in those sub-directories with in the zip).
-
The "path" FlowFile attribute on each of these generated FlowFiles can be used to maintain the original directory structure when writing out the FlowFiles vi "PutFile" as follows:
You can see form above configuration that as each FlowFile is processed by the PutFile processor it will place in a directory based on the value assigned to the "path" attribute set on each incoming FlowFile. Here i decide that my target base directory should be /tmp/target/ and then I preserve/generate the original zipped files directory beneath there.

Thank you,
