Unzipping within FTP
 

I'm going crazy with having to upload a million files to my server, it takes forever even on a fast connection. I can upload a zip in like 3 seconds, but have noway to unzip it via FTP.

Does anyone have a solution? Is there a FTP program out there that will allow me to unzip a file?

I'm at the point where I'll almost consider writting such an ap in PHP.

Maybe I should just switch hosts so I can use SSH.

Any suggestions?

OK, I just talked to my GURU, and he suggests I write the following as a CGI:

#!/bin/bash
echo "content-type text/html"
echo ""
/usr/bin/unzip fullpath/filename


Does anybody agree with that? Think it could be whipped up into a nice stand alone application?
