hi all - hopefully someone can point me in the right direction

i host on a shared freebsd webserver (btw edatarack and their support really sucks). i am able to ftp a zip file onto the server, but do not know how to extract it.

there does not seem to be an unzip programme in the \bin directory, so i downloaded unzip from info-zip.org and was able to ftp it onto the server.

how do i go about installing it and running it on freebsd (i have not worked with any flavour of unix before).

the hosting co. does not provide telnet or ssh access. i can only use ftp, but when i use the command "unzip" through ftp this obviously does not work.

please help!

thanks

turbo3lf, if you decide your question first better to a different forum than the one you have just posted it to, report it to be moved. Don't create a new one. Thanks.
