ftp zip files

i didnt' ahve this problem with win98.

but with winxp everytime i upload a zip file, it creates a folder.
how can i upload a zip file so it stays zipped

i'd rather use winzip to unzip files than the thing that comes with windows

download winzip then

i did. that's how i zipped the files...

but when i upload them to my site. using an ftp client. only a folder named (filename.zip) is created. i need to keep them zipped and not folders

oh. sorry, i must have read it wrong then

i think it has something to do with windows xp's built in unzipping feature. what ftp client u using?

cute ftp pro

why not use windows explorer? just type the ftp address in.

that's not the problem tho. i need to be able to upload zip files

you can upload zips in explorer, no?

i cant connect in explorer. i get past the login thing. and nothing is shown in the right frame.

i dont really want to use the explorer. i want to turn off the automatic unzipping thing

to turn off the unzipping for dummies crap do this:
Select Run from the Start Menu.
Type regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll at the prompt, and click Ok.
The change will take effect immediately, but you may have to restart Windows for all traces of the built-in ZIP support to disappear.
If, at any time, you wish to re-enable Windows XP's built-in ZIP support, just follow these steps:

Select Run from the Start Menu.
Type regsvr32 %windir%\system32\zipfldr.dll at the prompt, and click Ok.
The change will take effect immediately, but you may have to restart Windows for all features of the built-in ZIP support to be available.

cute and wsftp are the only ftp clients worth x-fering anything with. explorer is crap. wsftp is done uploading while windows is still guess if you have rights to the workspace, oh and it thinks how long its going to be to transfer a file. " just transfer the damn file" sound fimiliar?

heh.

thanks a million =)
