Windows – Any method to batch-compress multiple files

batchcompressiongzipwindows 7

Does anyone know how multiple files can be GZIP compressed?
I have lots of files in a folder and I need to compress them individually.

Actually, I've found a way to do it. GZIP command line binary does the job.

I've used gzip -r dir.

Thanks for your efforts.

Just use the gzip alone.

by default, gzip will take any file passed to it and compress it and add the .gz extension. i.e. 

gzip dir/* -r

would gzip every file in dir/* (and sub-directories).
