ZIP - Append files to a zip archive

Syntax:	ZIP	[ zip name ] [ file ] [ /options ]
Arguments:	[ zip name ]	A variable or string defining the file name of the zip archive to append; if .zip extension is omitted, Robo-FTP adds it automatically; if no folder is specified, Robo-FTP opens the archive in its working folder.
	[ file ]	A variable or string defining the file or folder to add to the zip archive; if no path name is specified, Robo-FTP assumes [ file ] is in the current working folder. Wildcards may be used to specify multiple files.
Options:	/compress=xx	Select the compression mode for the zip archive; options are /compress=none (files are stored in the zip archive but not compressed); /compress=fast (archive file is created as quickly as possible but file may not be as small as it could be); /compress=normal; /compress=max (archive file is made as small as possible but may take longer to create).
	/create	Create a new zip archive each time; any existing archive file named [ zip name ] will be deleted and recreated. This option is required when the file specified in the first argument does not exist.
	/encryption=xx	The supported values are AES and ZIP (the standard ZipCrypto) ZIP is the default and the AES encryption uses 256-bit keys.
	/fullpath	Save the fully qualified path or folder names of files as they are stored in the zip archive.
	/pw=xx	Encrypt zip file with a password to protect the files added to the the zip archive.
	/subdirs	Add files in subfolders beneath [ file ] to the zip archive; [ file ] must be a folder or a path containing a wildcard pattern for this option to be accepted.

This script command appends files to an existing zip archive or, if the /create option is specified, it creates a new zip file. Robo-FTP is compatible with the 64-bit zip algorithm so it can create zip archives with a theoretical limit of 18 million terrabytes.

With the ZIP command the [target] zip is specified before the [source] file to be archived. This is reversed from many of the other Robo-FTP script commands like UNZIP, PGPENCRYPT and PGPDECRYPT.

Consider the following example in which a single file is zipped into a new archive. The resulting archive file is named zipfile.zip and is located in Robo-FTP’s working folder.

The example below adds all the .jpg and .jpeg files in Robo-FTP’s working folder to an existing password protected archive.

The example below adds all the .xml files in Robo-FTP’s working folder and in any subfolders to an existing archive. Relative path names of any files found in subfolders are saved in the archive.

The example below stores (but does not compress) all the files in Robo-FTP’s working folder and in any subfolders in a new archive. Relative path names of any files found in subfolders are saved in the archive.

Note: When the TMPFILE command is active, the output [ zip name ] created by this command will have a different name until the compression process is successfully completed.
