"don't use the file system" What does this even mean?

The hint says: you need to first save the contents of all of the zip entries somewhere. Does "don't use the file system" mean we can't use temporary files to store this content?

I thought maybe it meant "don't use the File class" since a lot of other tasks have been emphasizing the Files utility class. But the official CodeGym solution uses the File class, so that's not it.

Looking at the Solution, now I know what they mean: The files that were already in the ZIP file, are temporarily stored as members of a class called 'Content', were the content of a file is stored as a byte array. So they are NOT temporarily stored as physical files. Storing these files physically somewhere on my hard drive was my first solution, which works locally, but doesn't pass the test...

Hi, in this code I've tried to considered all the hints from the available posts regarding this task. It works fine on the local machine, but on the CodeGym Server it fails by Requirements 3 and 4. Does anyone have an idea, what is wrong there?
