Most on line web services do not allow you to do this.

Can I ask why?

Example:
I want to upload 50 small htm files and 60 pics in jpg
do I have to upload one by one?

mostly you will
have to unzip it localy and then ftp the whole lot to your space.

But then it is a lot of work
isnt it?
Is there ftp in Linux using the terminal without gui?

FTP commands you could find useful
ascii -- treat everything as ascii
binary -- treat all fles as binaries
auto -- detect and switch between ascii and binary on a file by file basis
mget and mput to do all files at once

then zip as usual

Thank You.

Sort of you need to install a ftp extension. I would try a good ftp
client filezilla is about the best.

You can replace the http:// bit with FTP:// as well, not a lot of people
know that.

But Firefox using the extension cannot upload and unpack zip files, isn
t it?
