How can I extract a Zip file In Filezilla
Filezilla doesn't support unzipping zipped files directly from a website's server. However you can work around the issue by downloading the relevant files from the server to your local drive and using your favorite zip utility to unzip the file.

- Step 2 Click the "Address" field at the top of Windows Explorer to select the path to the folder that contains the executable, and then press "Ctrl-C" to copy the path to the clipboard. Related Reading: How to Extract an IMG File
