Total Commander - Remote compress (zip)

[ShaiMagal]

Hello,

is possible in TC use remote compress (zip)?

I would like to zip all files on FTP without downloading them. Is it possible?

Thank you.

FTP doesn't provide such feature so any program will download files anyway.

Exactly, standard FTP does not support anything like that. But some servers can provide various non-standard extensions, either hardcoded by author or even using user-defined commands. I don't remember seeing any with remote (un)zip functionality, but in theory it's possible. But being non-standard and rare feature, TC would of course not support it in any user friendly way. But you'd always have an option to execute such command manually from command line.
