Create zip file in file storage

akorvemaker · 12 Aug 2008, 04:19 AM

It'd be handy for me to be able to create a zip file and save it directly to file storage. Currently I have to create the zip file and download it, then upload it.

I do this for creating occasional backups of my FM hosted website.

If it dropped the zip file in the root of the file storage, that'd be good enough. If it gave me the option of which folder I want to save the zip file to, that'd be ideal.

if you use an email client like Thunderbird you can test one addon which makes the job.
I hope only that the addon is updated because sometime ago it didn´t work properly.

I think I should clarify: I want to take some files or folders in the File Storage, create a zip file of them (which is currently one of the options), but then save the file in the File Storage rather than downloading it. Basically, since I re-upload the zip file anyways, I want to save myself the time of downloading and then uploading the file.
