Hi all,
I'm trying to think of a relatively painless solution to this problem:

I need to automatically(daily) FTP a .zip file from an FTP location,
to a folder on the web server, AND unzip the contents(pics) to a
sub-folder.

Any one have any brilliant and genius ideas?

There are several commercial .Net Zip components available. I have used
DynaZip from www.innernedia.com with good results. I believe XCeed makes one
as well. Of course you could always Google for one.

Don't suppose you have an example of your briliant work :) ?

Thanks for your reply,

afraid I dont - its company property not mine and I cant give out the
source.

Its not hard to do though - httpupload is easy with .NET, adding to a db is
easy, it only needs to be Access. The windows service is really quite
straightforward to write - the SDK has almost conplete examples for this -
adding a ZIP library to the examples is really easy. All in all it doesn't
really do that much so you should be able to knock it up really easily.
