How to extract zip files using SSH - Plesk

Discussion in 'Site & Server Administration' started by joujoba, Feb 10, 2010.

    hello

    I'm running Linux 2.6.28.7 with plesk v9.3.0.
    SSH is running and I'm logged in now, when i use the ls command i receive:

    but when entering: bash-3.2cd /httpdocs
    i receive:
    cd: /httpdocs: No such file or director

    the file images.zip inside the folder httpdocs isn't extracting also (samew problem)

    thanks for the help
    btw is there an easier way to extract zip in plesk?

    You are confusing absolute and relative paths. The above command, pwd, prints the working directory, basically, where you currently are. You need to figure out where the httpdocs folder is (not sure with plesk). What user are you logged in as in ssh?

    try this:
    unzip /httpdocs/images.zip
    Code (markup):
    or

    cd httpdocs
    unzip images.zip
    Code (markup):

    yes try using absolute paths.

    use command pwd to get it and then add your images.zip

    root@tripo:~/Documents> pwd
    /home/user1/Documents

    root@tripo:~/Documents> unzip /home/user1/Documents/images.zip

    what i have now is: [root@XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX ~]#
    I cannot locate httpdocs, even though on the FTP it's directly under /
    []# cd /httpdocs
    -bash: cd: /httpdocs: No such file or directory
    []# cd httpdocs
    -bash: cd: httpdocs: No such file or directory

    on ls i can only see two folders in blue: parallels & psa which leads to nothing :(

    and if i tried:
    any idea? thanks
    i'm using v9.3.0 of plesk

    i have worked with linux systems that has plesk

    usually the path for the httpdocs is

    /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs

    you might be having a problem on the path, try doing pwd and see where you are now
