The following guide describes how to package and unpack files and directories on a Linux server

ZIP - packaging files and directories

zip -r nazwa_archiwum.zip catalog1 catalog2 ... plik1 plik2 ...

After the command and the "zip -r" parameter we specify the archive name, followed by a space after the names of directories and files that will be packed, for example,:

zip -r dokumenty.zip dokumenty cv.jpg

ZIP - unpacking files and directories

unzip nazwa_archiwum.zip

After the unzip command, we give the name of the archive in which the packed files are located, for example,:

unzip dokumenty.zip

TAR - packaging files and directories

tar -cvf archive_name.tar directory1 directory2 ... plik1 plik2 ...

After the command with the "tar -cvf" parameters, we specify the archive name, followed by a space after the names of directories and files that will be packed, for example,:

tar -cvf dokumenty.tar dokumenty cv.jpg

TAR - unpacking files and directories

tar -xvf archive_name.tar

After the command with the "tar -xvf" parameters, we specify the archive name. If we want to specify the place to which the files are to be extracted, we give the "-C" parameter and the target path after the archive name, for example,:

tar -xvf documents.tar -C / home / rafal / documents

TAR.GZ - packing files and directories with compression

To package files with compression you just need, that the tar command from the examples above will add the "z" parameter. Our command will then look like this:

tar -zcvf archive_name.tar.gz directory1 directory2 ... plik1 plik2 ...

tar -zcvf dokumenty.tar.gz dokumenty cv.jpg

TAR.GZ - unpacking compressing files and directories

The command has the following form:

tar -zxvf archive_name.tar.gz

If we want to add a path to the command to which the files are to be unpacked, just add the -C parameter and the target path, for example,:

tar -zxvf archive_name.tar.gz -C / home / rafal / documents
