I am ZIP file challenged.. Help!?

Question

I am unable to upload any zip files!

I have NO idea of what I am doing wrong!

I can upload other file types, just not zip. It's not the size. I don't know if it's the site. My friend can upload zip files on the same site, but it's just me... Any ideas? And there are no strange characters in the name.

Answer 1

hm that is weird. Have you tried RAR or 7z?

What you could do is just make a filefront account, upload the file to filefront, and post a link to it on your freewebs website.

http://www.filefront.com/



Filefront is the best file hosting site there is





Edit:

yes, RAR is a type of archive like zip and 7z.

7z has the best compression, though

Answer 2

May be your firewall or ISP is blocking the zip files. try using win rar with *.rar extensions for upload.

Answer 3

I had that problem too. I was always told I need 'Winzip' to open zip files, and I basically did. Plus you have to pay for it! Luckily, I found a free software called "ZipGenious"! Google it, it works really well.
