If the other works I'd think cygwin is overkill ... (though it does bring some nice features with it) |

| Thanks guys I've tried both but I'm lost as to what to do with either of them. I've installed Cygwin and I get a console when I run it and I've downloaded GNU UnxUtils. What do I do next  |

| you'll want to edit your PATH to include a link to where you keep the tar program. As you're making a shell_exec ... if it doesn't find tar it'll throw an error |

| Shell commands. Sorry this isn't exactly on the topic of this thread. However anyone got a good guide to Shell Commands for Unix servers? I would really like to be able to upload zip files to my server via FTP and execute shell commands to unzip rather than upload each file singularly. Also what do I need to check for in terms of hosting support for this feature? I know this is a newbie question but I've never known any better.

| Personally I love vi for quick edits (config files and so on) you'll want to ask them if you've got shell access with your account. You'll also want to ask them if you can run tar gunzip zip unzip chmod chown ... a lot of hosts will only let you copy files around You'll find however a lot of the filemanagers will let you upload zip / tar / gz files and will let you decompress them on the server. |
