extracting from where? cpanel? haven't tried that so i can't help you there. but you can try extracting the files in your local PC, then upload the files in their appropriate folders on the server after. i'm pretty sure you have winzip in your PC to extract it... easier that way (at least for me, since i locally test my files offline first).

lol...dragonfly is a portal/forum by itself so uploading every single file one at a tiem would take forever and im extractin it from the file manager

i see... ftp still works best for me, instead of the file manager. anyway, have you tried setting up your dragonfly database, or does it need mysql DBs or just flat files? i suppose if it's a portal/forum (with infinite files which should take forever to upload individually ), it would need a database, right? haven't heard of dragonfly b4 so i'm asking.

Well, normally you go to cPanel, open up the file manager and then click on the NAME of the file and select extract. That should do the trick. I can't really see why it wouldn't work, unless the file permissions aren't set to execute for the owner...

moonwitch just said that extracting from file manager would work, so better follow his steps to successfully do your thing. but running/setting up dragonfly is another matter.

better check inside your dragonfly.zip file first to see if there is any README file there. that usually tells how a script is to be setup properly. check also the file extensions inside. are the files in PHP? or ASP? trap17 does not support ASP as far as i know, so if it's in ASP, then you won't be able to use it in your trap17 hosting. PHP, yes.

do some search also on "FTP" in the forums here, as that is what is used by most members here to upload files. and search "database" also, to brush up on some tips on setting one up.
