Way to uncompress using Yummy?

[musiclc]

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but is there a way to uncompress files (zip, tar, gz) uploaded to a remote server (Linux) using Yummy?

Thanks!

Currently, there is not a remote zip/unzip function. However, this is becoming a frequent request, so look for it sooner than later

Scratchin' me head... ftp access to a remote server doesn't allow running any software on it... right? So for Yummy to do it, wouldn't it need to shove a lot of data back and forth?

[JD]

No way to do it with standard FTP, but over an SSH connection (for example) you can remotely issue any command you wish, as if you were using Terminal.

Remote zip and unzip will be included in the next update 

If anyone wants to test it, I have it working in the latest build.

Cool! Thanks!

This will be an awesome feature. I look forward to the next release.

I'm using it often myself! Very handy indeed

Hello JD,

Could you please add an option to change the standard port of SSH (22) to something else? Mine is set differently to avoid intrusions. Thanks in advance.

Bye.

Just change it in the Bookmark for that server.

[Yuku]

I mean for the remote extracting (using an SSH command), not the regular connection...

Bye.

[JD]

Understood. I'll need to add an option for this.

[Yuku]

Great!
It's a common security setting when administratting a server (debian recommandation).

Bye.

I know nothing of the technological limits of this, but could you automatically compress files before upload and remotely extract them, to increase upload speeds?  If so, that would be great!

For FTP, theoretically, yes. But it's messy.

SFTP already has automatic on-the-fly compression (and decompression at the recieving end) built into it. Enable the Compression checkbox in  your Bookmark and that's it!
