Untar .tar.gz files

Nameeater · November 26th, 2005, 2:51 AM

I could not find a general question catagory so I thought this is the closest place to put this Q.

Is it possible to untar .tar.gz files using a php (or similar script)?

I am on dialup and am going to upgrade a couple of things I use and I am not looking forward to uploading 10+megs of files at 3KBps so anything like this would be a great help

I know you can upload a zip file to your site and have file manager unzip it for you. I tried with a tar file once, but it didn't work so I haven't tried again.

Hadn't thought of that, I will give it a go.

Thanks

If you get SSH on your account you can Untar any .tar* files.

I do not have SSH access, but maybe later I will look into that.

The file manager worked a treat, thanks alot.
