Actually I have a dir "adhoc" and there are several files and dirs inside adhoc, and I want to compress this adhoc folder. So what I gave is this:
zip -r adhoc
Do I miss anywhere!?
Did you look at the man pages before even trying that option? You wouldn't have that error message if you were to take a look at the man pages.. Here is the man page output for zip command -r option:
Quote:
-r Travel the directory structure recursively;
for example:
zip -r foo foo
In this case, all the files and directories
in foo are saved in a zip archive named
foo.zip, including files with names starting
with ".", since the recursion does not use
the shell's file-name substitution mecha-
nism. If you wish to include only a spe-
cific subset of the files in directory foo
and its subdirectories, use the -i option to
specify the pattern of files to be included.
You should not use -r with the name ".*",
since that matches ".." which will attempt
to zip up the parent directory (probably not
what was intended).
so if you have a dir named adhoc and you want to zip that dir and its contents then you will execute:
this will produce a zip file named adhoc.zip
when you want to unzip that dir and its contents then just issue unzip adhoc.zip and it will restore the files and directories for you..
make sure you consult your man documentation on your sytem as much as possible..
I have never used this command before. I need to use the "compress" command to compress all files located in the subdirectories under the following directories:
/home/ftp/inbound/Fordin
Please advise, I appreciate your help.
Thanks,

new
NEW(1) [nmh-1.5] NEW(1)NAME
new - report on folders with new messages
fnext - set current folder to next folder with new messages
fprev - set current folder to previous folder with new messages
unseen - scan new messages in all folders with new messages
SYNOPSIS
new [sequences] [-mode mode] [-folders foldersfile] [-version] [-help]
fnext is equivalent to new -mode fnext
fprev is equivalent to new -mode fprev
unseen is equivalent to new -mode unseen
DESCRIPTION
New in its default mode produces a one-line-per-folder listing of all folders containing messages in the listed sequences or in the
sequences listed in the profile entry "Unseen-Sequence". Each line contains the folder, the number of messages in the desired sequences,
and the message lists from the .mh_sequences file. For example:
foo 11.* 40-50
bar 380. 760-772 824-828
total 391.
The `*' on foo indicates that it is the current folder. The last line shows the total number of messages in the desired sequences.
New crawls the folder hierarchy recursively to find all folders, and prints them in lexicographic order. Override this behavior by provid-
ing foldersfile containing the pre-sorted list of folders new should check, one per line.
In fnext and fprev modes, new instead changes to the next or previous matching folder, respectively.
In unseen mode, new executes scan sequences for each matching folder.
FILES
$HOME/.mh_profile The user profile
PROFILE COMPONENTS
Path: To determine the user's nmh directory
Current-Folder: To find the default current folder
Unseen-Sequence: The name of the unseen message sequence
