Maybe yes - there's an option to run (execute) a remote program, but this is usually turned off as it's something of a security risk. Mike

You cannot run unzip within ftp itself, see below for valid ftp commands: -
ftp
ftp> help
! cr macdef proxy send
$ delete mdelete sendport status
account debug mdir put struct
append dir mget pwd sunique
ascii disconnect mkdir quit tenex
bell form mls quote trace
binary get mode recv type
bye glob mput remotehelp user
case hash nmap rename verbose
cd help ntrans reset ?
cdup lcd open rmdir
close ls prompt runique

Ur safest bet is to use the remote execution coomand 'resh' on most UNIXes
$ resh remote_Mc_name unzip filename.zip
As mike said resh is mostly deactivated,but normally when U have a small network with users having accounts on all the machines U normally keep resh activated.
Other uses of resh are ...if U want to run a script on all the machines of the network ..U can first transfer the script to the remote machine using resh and then execute it remotely using resh.All the output of the execution will be displayed on ur screen.
