In the beginning, I did it a time or two myself, then discovered it was just easier to upload the zip file with cPanel's upload and use it's extractor. Worked perfectly. Didn't even have to use my FTP. Been doing it that way ever since. :)
I only use the FTP if I'm doing a lot of stuff and don't feel like messing with cPanel's upload limit of 12 things at a time.
While I've got you, I wanted to let you people are starting to drift over to the new set up and the HTML toolbars disappeared again for some reason. We've done the dump cookies, clear history, etc., tested a couple different accounts, and they just seem to be gone for everybody again, and editing posts is still pitching a fit. I'll pm you a copy of the error log.
