    Is your server Linux/Unix or Windows?

    I guess we need to ask what control panel you are using as well to what type of server (as in OS).

    He dont only need ssh client but ssh acess on server aswell! You can also unzip .zip files by using this command
    gunzip filename.zip

    Options:
    1. If you have shell then use gunzip.
    2. If you are using cpanel hosting, then in file manager go to the folder where you uploaded the file, click on the zip icon behind the zip and you will get an option to extract on right hand corner.
    Hope this helps.
