If you have stored archive files within your hosting account, you may find a need to unarchive them, either to again work with an older file or merely to uncompress an archived file you've uploaded. You can easily unarchive your compressed files using the File Manager located within the Hosting Control Center.
To Unarchive Files and Directories
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- In the My Products section, select Hosting.
- Click Manage account next to the hosting account you want to manage.
- Click the File Manager icon in the Content section of the Hosting Control Center.
- Navigate to the directory in which the file to be unarchived is stored, and then select the compressed file you want to unarchive.
- Click the Unarchive icon in the action bar.
- Chose a destination and an Overwrite option.
- Select Destination
- Accept the default destination, enter the name of a new or existing destination folder, or click Browse to navigate to an existing directory into which you want to unarchive the selected file. Clicking Browse opens the Select Destination window where you must select a destination folder into which to directly unarchive the items or create a new folder within the selected destination folder.
- Overwrite existing file
- Select this option to overwrite any files or directories with the same name within the selected destination directory.
- Click OK.
NOTE: You can only unarchive one file at a time.
Your file is unarchived in the selected destination directory. All files and directories are now uncompressed.
For information on archiving items in your hosting account, see Archiving Files and Directories.
