Not at this time. Here is the official reason:


I think we had already explored this option... the problem was that unzip isn't a standard binary on all OS's. We can look into the option of adding an install script for it though, we'll keep it in mind when deciding on future features.

Hmm...almost all modern cp's have unzip feature though. DA supports tar gz for now.

Hi,

I believe something was missunderstood.

What I want to do is upload one file and have DA uncompress it.

I saw that DA can COMPRESS to tar.gz but not automaticlly decompress what we send using filemanager or other way.

Thanks,
Ellery

Ops, my mistake!

Just found the option to extract .tar.gz! Not better because we can't uncompress zip (most common in windows world).

Login to shell and type unzip filename.zip to extract files.
