ZIP and extracting
How to zip a folder in File Manager, upload an archive and extract it on the server.
Uploading a single ZIP archive is much faster and more reliable than uploading thousands of small files. Extraction is done directly on the server.
Extracting a ZIP on the server#
- Zip your site on your computer (right-click → Compress / Send to → Compressed folder).
- In File Manager open the target folder (e.g.
public_html) and click Upload. - Upload the ZIP file and wait for it to finish. Close the tab once it shows 100%.
- Return to File Manager (Reload), right-click the ZIP → Extract.
- Confirm the destination folder and click Extract File(s).
- When done, delete the ZIP so it does not take up space.
Creating a ZIP on the server#
- In File Manager select the folders and files (hold Ctrl for several).
- Click Compress on the bar.
- Choose Zip Archive, check the name and click Compress File(s).
- Download the archive with right-click → Download.
If extraction does not finish because of a lack of space, see Space and inodes.
