Anyone know how to do this? - GoFuckYourself.com

I've got about 200 folders of content and I want to batch compress each folder into it's own individual zip file (i.e. make 200 individual zip files containing the contents of each folder). Does anyone know of a program that can do this? I've searched and experimented but haven't come up with anything that will work...

you can use this program for things like that:

jsut have to do it once, let it record your mouse and key stokes, then tell it how many times to run. dead easy

Total Commander (http://www.ghisler.com/download.htm) can do such stuff. Mark all folders you want to compress, use the Files -> Pack command (ALT+F5) and be sure to have the "Create separate archives" option checked.

yah that would be cool and could use the same tool

server side i've seen it done but don't know how

on a pc the only way i know is with a zip utility like winzip but would require opening each folder, selecting the contents, then right clicking and selecting "add to folder's name zip".

Sure it does, it's the best file manager out there IMO.

Awesome! That seems to do the trick. Thanks, man!

Thanks! I think I found the program I need, but I'm going to look into this one for some other projects.
