          Would that be done via SSH?

                          yup you have to access your shell account (so SSH is probably the way to go)

                                  unzip might not be installed by default on some unix/linux systems
                                  for freebsd look in the /usr/ports/compression folder for linux type:
                                  whereis unzip if it doesn't return with the path look on google for unzip "your distro" for redhat/fedora/CentOS rpmfind.net for Debian apt-get etc, etc

                                  Or just download the source tarbal, unpack it with

                                  tar xfz zip-x-x.tar.gz
                                  cd zip-x-x-
                                  ./configure && make && make install

                                  Hope that helps

                                          fedora 3 uses rpm packages

                                          first try to see if unzip is installed by typing in the shell:

                                          whereis unzip

                                          if it's not installed type:

                                          wget ftp://194.199.20.114/linux/fedora/co....51-4.i386.rpm

                                          after it's downloaded type:

                                          rpm -Uvh unzip-5.51-4.i386.rpm

                                          after it's installed you can use it.

                                              Thanks a lot. You know, I have people looking for a sys admin . . . would this be something you would be interested in . . . piece work most of the time probably (paid by the task as opposed to a long term contract), some want a full timer.
