Title: Way to uncompress using Yummy?
Post by: musiclc on August 18, 2006, 11:10:56 AM

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?

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 ;D

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