If you want to upload large number of files in your webserver especially like CMS software it might take hours using standard FTP softwares. Instead to quickly upload the necessary files in your linux os, just follow the steps.
1. Upload the zipped file to your server using SSH. You can use free SSH software like WinSCP.
2. Using the command line in SSH, just unzip the zipped file to the destination folder.
To test the zipped file
unzip -t zip_file_name
To extract the zipped file, use the following command
unzip zip_file_name -d destination_folder
Dont forget to use the -d parameter as otherwise you will have nasty errors. Be careful with permissions as well.
