The best example of how this is done can be seen here http://www.raditha.com/megaupload/ . It’s a file upload script that works great. The cgi portion of the script is in perl though.]]> zombiemx Jun 23, 2005, 09:07 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/34831/call-for-help-cross-platform-unzip-untar-uncompress?page=2#dis-post-190806 <![CDATA[Re: Call for help: cross platform unzip/untar/uncompress]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/34831/call-for-help-cross-platform-unzip-untar-uncompress?page=2#dis-post-190805 rethrash Jun 23, 2005, 07:34 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/34831/call-for-help-cross-platform-unzip-untar-uncompress?page=2#dis-post-190805 <![CDATA[Re: Call for help: cross platform unzip/untar/uncompress]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/34831/call-for-help-cross-platform-unzip-untar-uncompress?page=2#dis-post-190804
The only issue is timeout. I installed Invision Power File Manager (http://www.invisionfilemanager.com/), which is still free, but I am not able to make a complete zip backup of my site, because it contains a lot of images and the server is slow, so my script goes timeout. sad One solution could be "chopping" the zip compression in several parts, and using HTTP reload to repeatedly call the script on each part.]]> Commodore64 Jun 23, 2005, 07:25 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/34831/call-for-help-cross-platform-unzip-untar-uncompress?page=2#dis-post-190804 <![CDATA[Re: Call for help: cross platform unzip/untar/uncompress]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/34831/call-for-help-cross-platform-unzip-untar-uncompress?page=2#dis-post-190803

They’re a bit bulky but contain the actual bin file and when you "unzip" the bin it puts all the files in the right places.

Only problem I’ve seen on this in perl was that the server now owned the file and made it a problem to erase the buggers later.

My thoughts on this is for an installer application, so you’re not transferring thousands of files across the net.
