Hi All,

Im trying to send a .ZIP file in an email message using mail or mailx. What is the easiest way to do this?

Thanks!

UPDATE: I used the following command which didnt work

mailx -s {my subject} {xxxxx@ssss.com} < /var/tmp/file.zip

Hello,

Code:

uuencode file.tar.gz | mail admin@example.com < /dev/null

Try also with mutt:

Code:

mutt -a file.tar.gz admin@example.com < /dev/null

More info and examples at:
