I'm not aware of any FTP program with such capability. I'm also pretty 
sure that even if a program would have this option, your hosting server 
would not have allowed it in setup but who knows?

You definitively have to unzip (or untar) content to /, not to /dummy. 
Or else move content of /dummy to /. The only stuff you could do to get 
rid of this "dummy" part in the URL would be to change to webroot of 
your website in the configuration of the webserver. And if you were 
allowed to do this, I bet you would have sufficiant access rights on the 
server to create a symlink.
