    Time saving request.
    Can the modx files be zipped directory ready - with out directory folder?

    revolution download files are zipped into folders ie: modx-2.0.6-pl --> directory files.

    The fastest way to get modx up and running is to ftp zip file and unpack on server. (small upload - 45 seconds - 1 minute. Unpack 5 seconds.)
    MAJOR time savor over download to local drive, unzip and then ftp individual directories and files to server. (for cpanel users - File Manager --> select zip file then unpack)

    When the files are placed in a parent folder then zipped it prevents the ability to unpack in directory of choice. unpacking the zip file places it in the modx-2.0.6-pl directory on the server.


    Regards,
    Happy Holidays.

      it’s not really that much of a time saver,
      cause selecting all the files & directories over the ftp client (mine is FlashFXP) and using the "Move" option to relocate them takes only a few seconds, iv’e done it today with 2.0.6 too.

        Thanks gOmp,

        Never thought of just moving files.
        It is an option in the file manager as well.
        Works just as fast.

        I’ve used ipswitch ws_ftp pro for a decade but FlashFXP looks worth checking out. Very cool looking interface.
