Also, Which FTP software you prefer?
I want software to use my ftp server to upload massive files

Cheers m8

smartftp is a good ftp program.

And servers don't unzip files - you have to unzip them before they're put on the server.

Yes, servers do unzip files, I do it all the time. If you have a cpanel you can login to, go to the file manager, click the zip file and click extract! Done!

sorry

Thanks JacobHaug
but what if I don't have cPanel
I've only ftp account :S

I knew that I can unzipped files if I've dedicated server

Any Ideas?!
Any Good FTP Software I can use?

I heared that there is PHP script do that, and there is permission to do that on server first, Is that true?!

Regards

Yeah PHP have a zip and unzip function i'm sure.
but it's a lot of hassle don't you think?
most FTP programs allow you to select everything you want to send easily

Much longer upload though Alex. Ummm, Who are you hosting with? Most website host have some sort of online control panel with a file manager....even Godaddy has that. Tell me your host please.

and I've already said smartFtp is the best to use

No one disagreed Daniel. I agree with you. SmartFTP is a good FTP editor for Windows, and Transmit for the Mac. I was talking about the members hosting control panel.

He was still asking for a FTP program

Oh, I see that now. My bad.

It's shared Server
I've only FTP accounts

Any Ideas to upload many files without
Transfer failed msg

I'm uploading about 2000 files 28 MB
It didn't complete automaticly retries or something
I've to upload it manually
choose folder by folder and overwrite skip

---edit---

You should still have a cPanel

you can only access file via ftp?
doesn't sound like too good of a host

zJunior, what is the website of your host?

Man, we have asked you this question and for some reason you keep avoiding the answer. You should have a cpanel. Does not matter wither you are on a shared server or not. Even crappy hosts have cpanels. Please answer, where are you hosted?

I used to upload zip files and unzip it before i found out that my control panel could do it. zJunior I think this can help you.But bear in mind that when unzipping, you need to use the CHMOD (755 or 644) option. Else you won't be able to modify nor to delete your unzipped files.
Unfortunately i'm not home, I could have send you the script I used.
But you can have a look here

Hello Folks

Sorry I didn't reply you as I was away from my PC

for sure any hosting server you have cPanel but in my case I can't have permission to cPanel

Any Advice?!

Yes get a different host.

try typing in to your address bar:
www.(yourdomainname).(com/net/whatever)/cpanel
