extract files

a feature so i can upload one zipped file
to the server and then right click and choose
extract files.
then, all hundreds of files extracted.

much faster than i have to upload one file at a time...

or better yet...

if i upload a folder, it automatically compress the folder to one zipped file.
then upload this zipped file and then extract it there.

so much faster...

I would not do this for many reasons.

Some hint that may help you: SSH protocol itself allows compression (see SSH tab of login dialog). If you use SCP protocol, you may setup custom command (see Preferences dialog) that does this.

it'll be great if you may share to newbee,
the custom command that can do this...

why not put a few of usefull custom commands
installed as default WinSCP installation

Try to add command 'unzip "!"', name it for example "&Unzip". Than right-click your uploaded ZIP file and select "Custom Commands ... Unzip".

Update: I have corrected the command syntax, there were 'unzip !.!', which was wrong. Also quotes were added for case file name has space in it.

There are three example commands. I think it is enough to get the idea and create your own.

Adding a "Customize" branch in the leftside tree may improve visibility

like:-

Customize
- Editor
- External Apps
- Icons & Shortcuts
- User Commands

Even though "Customize", Preferences, Options are all the same, word "Custom" will give one a feeling that you can do more

Keep in mind that I can use only commands that works on every *nix platform. Otherwise I would face hundreds of bug reports, what I do not want :-) In fact there is only few command I can use. I would not even dare to add the "unzip" command, because I think that even unzip is not supported everywhere.

Hello,

How would I write a command to overwrite the files on the server?

I have tried to do through the command line, Command window and runing the recommended UNZIP custom Command, but I get a "Host has not answered for more than 15 seconds" I end up aborting.

I havent been able to find the window where I can respond to requests from the server.

Thanks!!

What should the command do exactly?

You can use only commands that need no response.
