[SOLVED] I am trying to make archive files along with folders

Raakh5 · 04-01-2012, 03:24 PM

Hello,

Code:

rar a 01042012.rar UserType/*

When am running this command then its making rar file but not keeping the directory hierarchy e.g. the UserType/* contains sub folder like:
UserType
|--40
|----1
|----2
|--50
|-----1
|-----2
|-----many files
etc.

Please advise

Thanks & best regards

Actually it should preserve the directory structure! What if you do:

Code:

rar a -r 01042012.rar UserType

? However, I don't think it makes any difference. Rather take in mind that when extracting the archive, the e command extracts all the files in the current directory, whereas the x command preserves the original directory structure. This is true for both the unrar and rar applications.

Hi,

I don't use rar (prefering the free tar), but did you consider trying:

Code:

rar a 01042012.rar UserType
