I want to zip a directory containing many types of files and many sub-directories in it. I tried:
compact /c file
But I did not see anything. Next I found about zip/unzip command and tried:
zip file.zip file
It worked. But, there were sub-directories which have contents (in the input folder before zipping it) and now, in the zipped file, in that sub-directory, there is no content. It means during compression it did not store the contents of sub-directory.
What DOS command (only) can get me out of my problem.
Best Answer
Use the
-r
option like so:This will tell zip to recurse down the directory
foo
.
