[SOLVED] Zip a folder

Zaress · 10-26-2015, 05:54 AM

Hi all,

Noob question:

I have this file structure:

blogs php.ini wp-admin wp-content wp-login.php xmlrpc.php
ea readme.html wp-blog-header.php wp-cron.php wp-mail.php
filter.php tmp wp-comments-post.php wp-includes wp-settings.php
index.php wc-logs wp-config-sample.php wp-links-opml.php wp-signup.php
license.txt wp-activate.php wp-config.php wp-load.php wp-trackback.php

How can i archive all the files except /ea & .blog directory?

Thank you in advance!

Hello!

It is very hard to understand the structure of your directories and files based on your post. Regardless, here is a link that I think you may find helpful regarding excluding files from a zip archive:

I found it.
I used: tar -zcvf bkp.tar.gz * --exclude='dir1' --exclude='dir2'

At the top of the page, look for "Thread Tools". Around there, there should be an option to "Mark this thread as SOLVED". Just click that.

Awesome! It is always great to be able to solve one's own stuff.

Please note that tar and zip are two different programs, and you asked for help with zip.

Best regards,
