Cómo comprimir un directorio para pasar a otro web

First, you need to 'tar' up all the files, then 'gzip' them to compress them, as 'tar' merely organizes them into a one-file bundle. What you'll need to do is create a shell script that will go into the parent directory, and gzip up the whole directory. Tar can do this by calling it like: 'tar cvf /u/web/(userid)/outputfile.tar /u/web/(userid)/(directory)'. Replace (directory) with the directory you want to zip up. It then will call gzip to compress the file, to a more manageable size. Call gzip with 'gzip outputfile.tar', and that will create 'outputfile.tar.gz', which you can download off of your account. To give you a simpler picture of this, I'll just create a simple shell script to do this. Of course you'll have to custimize this to your needs, including your userid and the target files and directories. Here we go, just name it script.sh or something to that effect. - --start of script #!/bin/sh echo "Content-type: text/plain" echo "" ## # Here's where it zips things up. Please be SURE to change # (userid), (outputfile), and (dir to tar) to whatever is appropriate. # It may or may not spit out messages, but include the Content-type header # so that you don't get a '500 Server Error' when/if it does. ## echo "Starting to zip up items..." tar cvf /u/web/(userid)/(outputfile).tar /u/web/(userid)/(dir to tar) # Included to let you know what is going on. echo "Successfully tarred directory...now gzipping" gzip /u/web/(userid)/(outputfile).tar # Once again to keep you informed. echo "Successfully gzipped file...ready for download" - --end of script Just upload that script to your /cgi-local directory, and run it from the web ONCE, not multiple times. Or, upload it, run it, and change it to tar up another directory. Now, once you have your outputfile.tar.gz in its final destination, you'll obviously need to unzip it into the appropriate places. If the destination has telnet access, you can simply run the following commands from the command line; but if not I write another small shell script to unzip these on your target account. Please note that I do not know how the target account does their directory structure, so you will have to find that out and edit the script accordingly. The script will create the directories as neccessary, so just upload the file to your home directory, and it will create its own directories. If the target account uses a cgi directory other than cgi-local, you will have to move the files using an FTP client or telnet. Here's the script for decompressing it: - --start script #!/bin/sh # To eliminate '500' errors, and so that status messages # are sent to your web browser, we send the context-type header. echo "Content-type: text/plain" echo "" echo "Starting to unzip files..." gunzip /path/to/file/outputfile.tar.gz echo "File ungzipped, now un-tarring" tar -xvf /path/to/file/outputfile.tar # Please note that it is NOT # .tar.gz here, as it is made # into a tar by gunzip. echo "Files untarred into their own directories" echo "You may now delete outputfile.tar" echo "-----" echo "COMPLETE" - --end script I have not tested these particular scripts, so you may want to look them over for stupid typos on my part. If you have problems with anything here, please let me know and I will be glad to help you further. You can also find documentation for the 'tar' and 'gzip' commands on the internet probably at http://www.linux.org/ . Look for man pages (manual pages), they will list other options and such.
