Hey dude, tried it and it was a little confusing at first but i worked it out and it's working all great, i stored a 3gig file in about 1mb so i just keep extracting, will carry on tomorrow...thanks man...

for those who want to do the same, here's what should be done in telnet/shell access:

type unzip and see if some long big thing comes up, if it doesn't you can't use this method, if it does:

unzip /source_dir1/source_dir2/file.zip -d /target_dir1/targetdir2/

thanks,

All of this is a moot point if all of your ISPs don't have a huge upload allowance. Plus, I hope you guys have very fast Internet connections. Have you calculated how long it will take up to upload a 8GB file?

Also if there's a way to unzip or unrar files on servers i can do that too since a 50mb dummy file only takes 5kb in a zip

If you truly need more than 55GB, I suggest you contact your service.

And 55gb is actually: 59,055,800,320 bytes

Well when you count it in bytes it sounds much more like it is, i need more because i want to use it for my friends to store some stuff on there and we can share em, we've started a videography project for college and the files are HUGE, it doesn't really matter why anyway...some of my video files are like 2-5 sometimes 7 or 8 gb and they're not even more than an hour (we use really high resolution)...

i just need to find a way to generate big files on the server...this seems like a good way, if it's not possible, anything that makes files by itself i'd like to hear about it...

thanks guys,
