Add ZIP/UNZIP Permissions for GameServer FTP

This is not about adding a new feature it’s about enabling the proper file permissions so that users can ZIP and UNZIP files/folders directly within the Game Server environment.

Currently, users cannot compress or extract files because the panel does not grant the required permissions. This becomes a problem especially for games like Minecraft, where world folders can be extremely large and downloading them through FTP is slow, unstable, or often fails.


Why This Permission Is Needed

  • Large Minecraft worlds can be multiple gigabytes, making direct FTP downloads difficult

  • ZIP compression makes it much faster and more stable to download

  • Prevents corrupted world files

  • Allows users to upload large modpacks or backups more easily

  • Most professional hosting platforms allow ZIP/UNZIP operations via file manager permissions


Benefits to Users

  • Much easier and safer backup process

  • Faster downloading and uploading of worlds/modpacks

  • Reduces FTP timeouts and failed transfers

  • Greatly helps beginners and experienced admins alike


Benefits to Zap-Hosting

  • Fewer support tickets about failed FTP downloads

  • Faster backup workflow
