titleUnzipping zip filesFiles

If you have a large number of Files or Images to upload, and/or file sizes are large (approaching or exceeding the 1MB individual item upload limit) then the files can first be zipped, transferred as a single file, and automatically unzipped after the upload is complete.

Some points to note:

  • The zip file must be created using a normal zip file tool (e.g. WinZip or PKZip)
  • Any directory information within the zip file is ignored, files are all placed within the Files or Images directory as appropriate
  • Files/Images of the same name as those within the zip file will automatically be overwritten. No warning will be given.
  • Only Files/Images with legal file extensions will be unzipped - i.e. those with 'Executable' extensions are never unzipped and only .jpg .gif .png extensions are unzipped for the case of an 'Image' upload
  • Zip files uploaded for unzipping on the server will always be deleted on the server after unzipping. This is to save your file space.
  • If uploading and unzipping a file would result in exceeding your space allowance, the action is not allowed.

Case study: Uploading a large number of images

  1. Create the zip file using your zip tool. Include as many images (.jpg, .gif, .png) as you like, provided the total uncompressed size of the images does not exceed your space allowance.
  2. To speed the upload process, select the maximum compression that you can when creating the zip file.
  3. Follow the instructions above -To upload an Image (File)

Case study: Uploading a large document

  1. Zip the document using your zip tool.
  2. To speed the upload process, select the maximum compression that you can when creating the zip file.
  3. Follow the instructions above -To upload an File, ensure the Unzip and delete .zip file after uploading checkbox is checked

In some cases you may wish to upload a zip file for future download (ie without unzipping). In this case uncheck the checkbox.

Note

Most documents compress substantially when zipped. This can substantially reduce the amount of time taken to upload the document to the SportzVault site.
