snlildude87 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 Thanks for the tutorial! Some people here at Xisto mentioned that you can extract zip files for faster uploads, but I couldn't figure out how to go about doing that. Now I know that you have to upload the .zip file first (on my old host, the .zip file was extracted during the upload process).Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

guangdian 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2005 come on hey...if you just use that it's just the same as me ever...but the problem is..can you find that ?if you just upload some zip file from filemanager then you just click to extract it on server ..when you found your all files extracted the permission is no read no excute..if you install something you must change the permission of every file.if you just worried of the every file you just use the ftp then select all to change the permission it's so boring.so i suggested just upload with ftp programe.

hype 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2005 You can also programme the files to self CHMOD.. I always use this method since I cant use ftp... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjrn 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 Heym that's really neat. I had no idea you could extract files on the server. And if there's anything annoying about ftp-ing, it's having to upload loads and loads of file you've just extracted.Thanks for the tip wlite! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rvalkass 5 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 I never knew that compressed files could be extracted on the server. Thanks very much for this useful tip! It also saves uploading lots of small files and folders separately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shigajet 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2005 Great tip! Although most of the files I uploaded are not compressed, it's great to know that I don't have to unzip anything before starting up cpanel. I'll give it a try sometime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But by you post, i thinks i can upload zip file now. Thanks a lot. It's useful for who does not have a FTP software because WebFTP often allow you upload from 5 to 10 files at the same time. Once more thing you should not forget is decompression is automatic. It means that you can not choose target dir for your unzipped files. The folder's structure before you zip will not be change by unzip action and they will be extracted directly to the current dir that the zip file is uploaded. Have fun!
