can you unzip a .zip ?

Greetings,

Can a .zip be unzipped with the file manager? Or just .tar? When I try it says i need version 1.0 or higher? Please advise.

I would like to know if it's possible too. Anybody?
Another question: how do I create .tar files in Windows?

Thank you, Wiki.

Wiki,

I use cuteftp for uploading to the server. I can right click on the files in its browser pane and upload "compressed" as a .cab, .zip or .gzip/tar.

Any chance of an answer to this original question.
I have a guy who claims he could unzip winzipped files using Cpanel on his old server but can't on ours (Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract) - v1.0 of what?

Try to install "Unzip" under "install a RPM"

You need zziplib libarary (http://zziplib.sourceforge.net/) installed on your system.

If you already have zziplib you can install pecl package "zip" by command
# pear install zip

After compilation you'll have zip.so, which you can copy to /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/ add to your php.ini:
extension_dir = /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/
extension="zip.so"

Or just rebuild apache with it just like installing GD.
