This is not a big problem but I am sure many have encountered it and probably a few have solved it. I only have ftp access on my web host and my ftp program crashes when I attempt to upload drupal unzipped (too many files i guess). So I must copy it over zipped. Of course I could ask the web hosts to do this for me and it would not be a problem but I would prefer to do it myself so that I do not have to wait.

There must be a way to write upload a php or perl script that does this. Has anyone written one that they would like to share?

Thanks

What about uploading a script to the same directory as the drupal archive that does something like this:


echo exec('tar -xzvf drupal-5.1.tar.gz');

Then visit the url of the script from your web-browser.
