I have the task: I have the Windows-made rar-archive (folders, files in it and so on), that via FTP was copied to Linux server. I want to unrar this archive to keep the file structure as it was in Windows - with folder.

rar у my_archivive

works, but I have just the list of files without folders.

How to do it ?

Thanks.
