Ftp Too Slow To Use

[Evan]

Hi, I'm trying to upload wordpress to my zymic account. Ideally I would upload a zipped wordpress dir and then extract it via ssh but as far as I can tell ssh access if not available. Since there is no ftp protocol for extracting compressed files I am forced to upload every single file (I'm using firezilla), this would be fine except each php file seems to take around 30 seconds (they quite often take >60s for a single php file!) on average to upload and there are around 1000 files in the wordpress folder!

Is there some way around there?

Thanks, Evan.

EDIT: here is a sample of my firezilla console:

Okay thanks for the speedy reply.

As a suggestion to the admins, it might be helpful if you could say what times peak traffic occurs at so we can avoid ftp usage at those times and reduce congestion. Or perhaps give us access to an online file manager which would allow us to unzip/extract compressed files which would make uploading php scripts a lot quicker.
