go to post barry dellinger · Nov 9, 2017 Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I have a class method that zips and unzips files. But in this case the zip file is on the FTP site and still zipped. Won't be able to unzip until I can get it down to either my local or one of our servers.But when I down load the whole file, the unzip program doesn't recognize it as a zipped file. So I was hoping someone had a way to download or copy it from the FDP server the without reading it line by line into a Stream.
