Our servers can compress to and extract .zip, .bz2, .gz, .tar, .tar.bz2 and .tar.gz files.
Our servers will allow you to upload .rar files, but note that rar is a closed source software which is NOT distributed with Linux and cannot normally be extracted via shell or the File Manger in cPanel.
You may download the Linux version of unrar.exe and upload it to your account to use in shell. [Direct link] Use the rar_static file that is included in the package to extract/compress .rar files.
One way to handle compressed files is the File Manger in your cPanel. Simply select the file(s) or folder(s) that you would like to extract or compress.
(Single click to enlarge an image, double click to reduce.)
At the top of the page click Extract, and choose the location you would like to extract the file to, or leave it blank to extract into the current directory.
To compress files, at the top of File Manger click Compress. A dialog box will pop up with a few options of the type of archive you would like to create.
You can also extract and compress files via SSH:
To extract .zip files the command would be as follows:
user@server ~ $ unzip archive.zip
To compress:
user@server ~ $ zip file.ext
To extract .bz2 files:
user@server ~ $ bunzip2 archive.bz2
To compress:
user@server ~ $ bzip2 file.ext
To extract .gz files:
user@server ~ $ gzip -d archive.gz
To compress:
user@server ~ $ gzip file.ext
To extract .tar files:
user@server ~ $ tar -xvf archive.tar
To compress:
user@server ~ $ tar -cvf archive.tar file1.ext file2.ext directory/
To extract .tar.bz2 files:
user@server ~ $ tar -xvjf archive.tar.bz2
To compress:
user@server ~ $ tar -cvjf file.tar.bz2 file1.ext file2.ext directory/
To extract .tar.gz files:
user@server ~ $ tar -xvzf archive.tar.gz
To compress:
user@server ~ $ tar -cvzf file.tar.gz file1.ext file2.ext directory/
Please note that these are the most basic forms of the commands, and have many options that are possible. Osirion does not provide support for using these commands, however to learn more about each command you can type user@server ~ $ man <command> Where <command> is the command you would like to learn more about, such as "tar" or "gzip."
