This is the file I have downloaded. It is a zip file. I have never seen one with this extention B 4. What is the extention? Is it *.tar.gz or *.gz?.?.?. Thanx

squirrelmail-1.4.3a.tar.gz

Thanx

That's a tarball file. Think of it as the Unix equivalent of a zip file.

tar is a like a zip file, but in a different format (I think if mixes with unix better). You can un-tar a file on your site...you can't un-zip a file on your site.

Either get a program that un-tars like WinRAR, winace, and I think winzip can handle it...or do it on the server so you don't have to upload everything...I'm looking for that code now.

Cool, I would like to upload this to my server, but I need to allow the extention. What extention should I insert? *.???

Thanx

You can keep the same extension, just upload it as a tar.

Then open notepad, copy this code, and save it as mailsetup.php, then upload it and run it:

<? system( "tar xzvf squirrelmail*.tar.gz" ) ?>

No...you can upload zip file...but you can't uncompress them online.

You can do both with tar files.

With the Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com) script, you can upload images in a .zip file and the script will un-zip them and add them, so PHP and Powweb servers have un-zip capability. Come to think, there's a Squirrelmail (http://squirrelmail.org) plugin, Archive, that will make a .zip file that can be downloaded.

I believe it was Halfabee or B&T that once posted how to use the zip/unzip modules that ARE installed on the servers.
