Speed up FTP transfers with zip and ssh

Uploading many small files using FTP usually takes longer than one big. It’s often a good idea to upload a compressed zip archive and then unzip the whole package directly on the server.

Unzipping zip files on the server is something you often can do if you have SSH access. All you need to do is to upload a compressed archive using FTP, open up a Terminal and then do something like this:

  1. // Connect with SSH
  2. ssh yourdomain.com -l yourusername
  3.  
  4. // Locate the directory with the zip file
  5. cd /domains/yourdomain/html
  6.  
  7. // Unzip
  8. unzip html.zip

Simple as that! Another couple of minutes saved.
