GoDaddy has its own proprietary file manager, in which you can check a file, and choose "unarchive."

The process takes an inordinate amount of time, which I can't explain. It used to take my league reports archive about ten minutes to unzip on GoDaddy, and the same process now takes less than five seconds on my current host. Using a script on a GoDaddy server would probably be much faster than using their "unarchive" command.

Another thing: GoDaddy will not allow more than 1024 files in any given directory, so beware. If they find out that you have more than that, they will give you a week to restructure, then freeze the offending directories. OOTP reports cannot be restructured into a hierarchy with 1024 files per folder, by any reasonably efficient method.
