Extract Files

Does SmartFTP have a way to extract files (zip, rar, tar.gz, etc) once uploaded, without having to use SSH or cPanel's File Manager?

If not, is this a possible feature?


Thanks,

Hello ..

This is not possible because FTP servers offer no feature to extract archives on the server. I've only seen such a feature in one FTP server product so far and it didn't work that well. If you have a server which supports such a feature you can use the custom commands in SmartFTP (Commands->Edit Custom Commands) and define the server command to extract the archive.

Oh, that's a shame - might have been handy.

Thanks for the info. though.
