I have noticed that when trying to extract .zip files with the net2ftp file manager (The first “File Manager” In the cPanel, you can only upload, download, transfer and the biggest problem of all, Unzip the maximum of 5MB

Of corse it is possible to upload 5MB+ files to the server by using another FTP client like FireFTP and Smart FTP, but these will not allow you to unzip the contents of the .zip file on the server.

I have realized that it may be possible by using a custom server command of which I have tried to find the code in other forums but I have tried the commands and I get “Error 500 Unknown Command”

Im sure there is some sort of custom server command to unzip files on the server but what is it?? it is not “unzip”.

Until then im having to extract them on my computer and kinda space the contents in to multiple smaller zip files and move them around the server

For Ex:

<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;
if ($zip->open(’test.zip’) === TRUE) {
$zip->extractTo(’/my/destination/dir/’);
$zip->close();
echo ‘ok’;
} else {
echo ‘failed’;
}
?>
