Unzipping before uploading?
March 07, 2014, 04:31:58 am
I'm about to upload CiviCRM and install it on WP 3.6.  Is there any reason that might prevent me from unzipping the compressed file locally (ie on my PC) before uploading it to the plugins directory on the remote server by FTP?

You should be able to unzip it on your PC. It takes a few minutes (over 7000 files, totaling about 60MB).

For installation you should upload the zip file to your host and extract it in the plugins directory. Loading the extracted files through FTP will take awhile and there is the potential for errors.
