on Unix m/c i have folder in which there are few more folders..
I wants to make zip file of parent folder. and i should able to unzip this zip file in windows m/c..
Can you please advice..
thanks in advance..
given that the program 'zip' is available, the following should work:
zip -r archive_name.zip folder
From midnight commander highlight the directory that you want to zip, then press F2 to get to the user menu, then # to perform an operation on it. You can now enter zip -r archive.zip followed by return, where archive.zip is that name of the zip file that you want to create.
zip -r parent-directory parent-directory
If you have zip installed on your Unix host.
It will create parent-directory.zip file and it can be unzipped on Windows using native unzip Windows program.

How do I use winzip command line with include full path information ? I know I can do this under Winzip GUI but how to do it using cmd ? Also, is there a way to zip selected specific folders only ? Thanks
Tried GUI and it is working very slow
Winzip command line doesnt seem to zip selected folders - either parent folders or specific subfolders
I am using winzip 27 command line and this is the syntax I am using:
wzzip -a -e0 -k -P -r -yx "C:\Users\source\to\save\zipfile.zip" "C:\example"
This stores files and folder timestamps underneath C:\example. But since I have enabled -P -r, I want to store the timestamps of the upper folder, C:\example folder. How can I do that ? Does anyone have suggestions?
Also, how do I specify the path for a mapped network drive? Thanks!

You can compress in a lot of formats in unix. The most commom is the tar.gz extension. If you are looking fot .zip specifically, there is a zip command: zip <zipname> <files>
To pass the file list you may use the * wirldcard, indicating any name. For example: *.log.*, as sugested by glen, will match every file that contains .log. in its name.
You probably want something like this:
zip backup_logs.zip /opt/app/logs/*.log.*
This will zip all files in the folder that matched what you asked and create a zip file in your current directory.
I have a folder called newfast.zip in my remote server. I required to unzip as xyz folder. ( say xyz is my new folder name ), I tried like this:

Archive: newfast.zip
caution: filename not matched: xyz
[mohamear#stic-scm-autosuggest unzip]$ cl
But I turn with error. any one help me here please?
And any one suggest me the good tutorial page to learn all useful command of putty
Suggested work around: Create a directory, lets say zipcontent and then unzip the content into that dir: unzip file.zip -d zipcontent/
Suggested workaround: Unzip the folder to whatever it unzips to and rename it afterwards.
I am trying to zip file which is in the format of Amazon*.xls in unix and also remove the source file after compression.Below is the used command
zip -m Amazon`date +%Y-%m-%d:%H:%M:%S`.zip Amazon*.xls
For the above command i am getting below error
zip I/O error: No such file or directory
zip error: Could not create output file Amazon.zip
PS: GZIP is working fine. I need zip format files.
It is not the zip, it is how your shell deals with expanding/substituting variables. Two lines solution for bash
export mydate=`date +%Y-%m-%d:%H:%M:%S`
zip -m Amazon_$mydate.zip *matrix*
Execute by hand (few secs difference) or better put in a shell script myzipper.sh and just source it.
Use '-p' instead of '-m', if zip files are to be extracted on Windows OS.
export mydate=date +%Y-%m-%d:%H:%M:%S
zip -p Amazon_$mydate.zip matrix
I have a single directory containing multiple zip files that contain .jpg files.
I need to unzip all files and save all contents (.jpgs files) into a single folder.
Any suggestions on a unix command that does that?
Please note that some of the contents (jpgs) might exist with same name in multiple zipped files, I need to keep all jpgs.
thanks
unzip '*.zip' -o -B
as by default these utilities are not installed

read about -B flag to realize its limitations.
