Zipping Files on Server

You will not be able to do this with pure ASP. Installing Winzip and
command line support is not an option either?

You can purchase the Winzip command line add-on
(http://www.winzip.com/downcl.htm) for Winzip (http://www.winzip.com/),
"shell out" and execute the commands for the command line add-on to zip
files.

<%
sCommand = "wzzip D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test\htmlfiles.zip
D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test\*.htm"
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run sCommand, ,True
Set oShell = Nothing
Response.Write "<a href=""htmlfiles.zip"">Download zip file</a>"
%>

Plenty of zippy whotsits on aspin.

All will need installing on the server though.

Or if your server supports .net then a .net solution will cause less
trouble on a server you don't have control of.
