When you say zipping, do you mean the process of:-
compressing the data of a single file?
bunching up lots of files into a single archive?
both at the same time?
Something like tar collects multiple files and puts them into a single convenient archive. Depending on your OS, you might have the -z which will compress them at the same time with gzip It is customary to use a file extension such as .tar.gz or .tgz for such compressed archives.
If you don't have the -z flag, then writing to STDOUT and then piping that through gzip or compress (depending what you have available) can then be directed to a single file.
Have a try with these to see what you can do:-
Code:
cd /path/to/source/directory
tar -czvf /path/to/my_data.tgz .
tar -cvf - . | compress > /path/to/my_data.tar.Z
tar -cvf - . | gzip > /path/to/my_data.tar.gz
I hope that this helps,
Robin
