Extract Archive error when parentheses are in filename

Severity: normal Keywords: parentheses, escape characters, extract archive

Description

It appears that the extraction function currently doesn't escape parentheses from the command that is run when extracting a file.

If the file is on a server abc.zip, extract command will work.

If the file is on a server named 'abc(1).zip', the extract will fail as the command that is being run on the remote server encounters the parentheses and thinks it is another command token.

Recommended Fix: Escape all characters from filenames prior to executing the extract command on remote servers.

Temporary workaround: Rename the filename on the server to exclude any parentheses or other *nix characters which require escaping.
