How do I extract an uploaded ZIP or TAR file?

Many applications come pre-packaged in a compressed ZIP or TAR file. Instead of unpacking these files on your local computer and then uploading the many files via FTP you can upload the compressed file and extract the files directly on the server to save you time.

  1. Within the file manager on the Plesk web hosting control panel, select the .zip or .TAR file you wish to extract
  2. Click on the 'Archive' drop-down along the top
  3. Select 'Extract Files'
  4. Choose whether or not you wish to replace existing files or not and click OK.

NOTE: Files will be extracted in the same directory that the .zip is located.
