Advanced Zipping cmd?

MODYSAMA · 02-09-2011, 05:03 AM

Hello, It'd be great If I get help.
Let:

Source directory is /x/y/z/src:
Destination is /x/y/z/dst,

Q: What is the option in zip command, which zip all updated or new picture files (*.jpg) from the source path to the destination + don't keep the origional files -zipping while moving- ?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

rsync can do that , it should be smth like :

Code:

rsync -avz --remove-source-files --include='*.jpg' /x/y/z/src/ /x/y/z/dst/

See man rsync for more information.

Also there is --update option for tar for archive updating, but I don't think an option for deleting source files exits in tar. For more in formations : man tar

You have been posting homework style questions lately.

You do need to make some effort towards learning and not expecting LQ members to just be your help desk.

Glad to hear your graduating. It's good to clarify and present your position(s). Your style does come across as verbatim homework. I have been reading across the forum(s) and your post(s) came across as homework.

Yes, the links that were provided will answer a lot of your questions. Read and learn but when something is not clear then present your queries.

Don't forget the LQ Search since it is likely that your question or problem has already been covered.

Code:

rsync -avz --remove-source-files --include='*.jpg' /x/y/z/src/ /x/y/z/dst/

That cmd does the zipping operation during the transformation period to acheive something like security + transperance + minimize the delay.But that commend doesn't reach the targects into destination in the zip format!?

goodhombre · 02-09-2011, 09:06 AM

Hi,

Yes I know.

But you can combine it with an archive tool.
unzip -> update using rsync -> zip back .

MODYSAMA · 02-09-2011, 02:08 PM

Hi,
I faild do it. I tried

Code:

rsync -av --compress --remove-source-files  /home/sok/Documents/*.jpg /home/sok/Receive/

But pictures arrive unzipped. :-(
Q: How is zip back?

It compress data only to speed up transfer. If you use rsync to sync data on the same computer -z ( --compress ) option is useless .

MODYSAMA · 02-09-2011, 03:21 PM

Hi goodhombre,
You mean at the same computer zipping with synchronization would be acheived !??Can't I reach the pictures zipped in the destination directory ?
Q: Can this operation be done using mv + zip command ?

someshpr · 02-09-2011, 03:53 PM

check: man zip

zip has an -u option for updating (as suggested by appilu) as well as a -m option that moves the source files to the zip archive (and hence deletes the source after archiving). Combination of these might help.

I want compression command to recursive compression images but each image individual as a (compressed file) with out I give a name (command do that itself ) to them and arrive to the destination not as a folder.zip but each one .zip .

I don't think I understand your requirement clearly! Can you give an example?

Is it like that you have some jpeg pictures in your source directory (src) and you want to zip every jpeg files separately and store them in destination directory (dest) deleting the original jpeg files? I do not know of any single command to do that, you may have to write a small script like this:

Code:

cd /path-to-src/
JPG=`ls *.jpg`
for file in $JPG; do
  base=`basename $file .jpg`
  zip -m /path-to-dest/$base.zip $file
done;

Also, just an aside, I believe "zipping" a jpeg image doesn't really reduce the storage size much. JPEG is an already compressed file type. But I maybe wrong.
