Ability to extract archive files (zip, tar, etc) into collections #19

Open simont opened 8 years ago

The ibun command allows iRODS to expand and compress standard archive file formats such as tar, zip, etc.

Similar functionality in GoRods would be useful to allow the upload of a .zip archive and then have the ability for GoRods to extract it into a new collection along the same lines as ibun -x. This would be of great use as a way for users to load groups of files into iRODS - they could archive files locally, then upload into iRODS and extract them there as needed.
