FileManager?

  1. Does Winhost's Control Panel have a FileManager tool? Or Is there any way to unzip a zip file on the host?

    That is correct, our control panel does not have a file manager. You can manage files on your own computer and then upload the files withftp.

    We do not support zip on our webservers. You can unzip files on your own computer and upload the files with ftp.
     
  3. As you know, uploading hundreds of files on the host is a big problem. It'd be must easier if we could upload a single zip file and unzip it later on the host. FileManager is a very popular feature for every other hosting providers. I hope you could add this feature to your control panel.

    Sorry but I don't think we'll be implementing a feature where you can unzip a file on the server. Bear in mind, by allowing this, it can be a potential security threat on the server. If you upload the zip file the system cannot tell if there is a virus inside it, then when you uncompress it the virus has the ability to run immediately which of course can compromise the server and all the accounts being hosted on it.
