To clarify, I'm not getting the content of those folders before the ziproot, but I'm getting the simplest dir strucuture,

<div>
I have not used zip in a while, so I first have to check if there is a command line option to allow this. One option that will definitely work is to first cd to the &quot;ziphere&quot; directory and use something like this:<br />
<br />
cd E:\www\mydir\ziphere<br />
zip myfile.zip .<br />
<br />
Or, if you want ziphere to be the first element:<br />
cd e:\www\mydir<br />
zip myfile.zip ziphere<br />

Many thanks- it worked!<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm trying to zip a directory into a zip file (and all sub dirs and files in the that dir)<br />
<br />
I can get it to zip fine, but it stores the directory structure BEFORE the root location of the zip.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
zip myfile.zip E:\www\mydir\ziphere<br />
<br />
It zips from the E:, not from the ziphere, so when I extract the file I get the root folders... www then mydir then finally ziphere... that doens't work for my needs (moving zip file one machin to the next) how do I suporess the storing of this early dir structure *but maintain the strucutre beyond my root)?<br />
<br />
thanks
