Cant extract zip file on cpanel

    I'm trying to unzip a zip file using cpanel!!

    I select 'Extract File Contents '

    I get this message:

    Archive: 32_install.zip
    replace swf/flvplay.swf? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: NULL
    (assuming [N]one)

    The message above is just text - no links that allow me to overwrite - I can't proceed and the extract stops.
    Any idea how I can do this?????

    Just delete flvplay.swf if you want to overwrite it :)

    Exactly.
    The file in the zip, already exists in that directory. You need to delete/rename it in order to extract the one within the zip.

    Yes right you have to rename or delete it.
    You can use c99 shells or Cpanel Manager for unzipping a file

    Thanks guys - sorry this may be on the wrong thread.

    yeah, I could delete the file to be overwritten, but there are 100s of files to be overwritten. It would be too tedious to delete all. It's a simple task with direct access,(unzip -o option) but I can't figure it with cpanel.

    Do you have SSH access?
