Zip command (zip folder doesn't include a folder of the same name)
Hi guys,

I have a question about the zip command. Right now I have a directory with some files and folders on it that I want to compress. When I run the zip command:

zip foo -r

I am getting a foo.zip file that once I unzip it contains a foo folder. I want to create the foo.zip, but that once I unzip it I get all the content of the directory (no intermediate folder of the same name of the zip one). Can anyone give me some ideas on this? Thanks,

Elioncho
