All you have is FTP, and when you install or upgrade your server software you have to download it first to your desktop, unzip and then upload each file to the server via FTP. It’s okay when it is small archive with a few files in it, but when you need to upload a 50Mb archive with a lot of small files in it, huh? It’s no fun.

Luckily most hosting servers have ‘curl’ and ‘unzip’ utilities installed. I use them right from PHP script to make any installation or upgrade to be quick and simple. This script I made freely available to everyone. You can download the script from our Downloads page.

There is no guarantee that this script will work on your server, but most of Linux hosting servers should work without problem. And of course it is not the only solution to the problem. Feel free to ask questions and report any issues in comments to this post.
