Hello,

does anyone know of a FTP client that allows uploading of zipped files and unzipping directly on the remote server.
Having to upload the over 2000 files of phpwcms scares me

Thx.

Shade,

Suppose you have uploaded this file "phpwcms_dev_1.2.6_14.12.2005.zip"
into this location on your account:
/home/shade/public_html/website/
then all you'll need to unzip it in this folder, will be to run these three commands (see in bold):
cd /home/shade/public_html/website/
you are now located in the good folder, then...
now run this command to check it's content listing: ls -las
unzip phpwcms_dev_1.2.6_14.12.2005.zip

That's all there is to it

Cheers,
