asked on Where does cpanel put a compressed file?
Using cpanel file manager. I want to crate a zip file of a large number of files. I see the compress option, select Zip (with the files all selected), it seems to build a zip file but I can't find it.
Where does cpanel put it?

I don’t know what “which provider” means. I thought cPanel was universal in Linux/ Apache servers.
Backup is what you need to use to combine files into an archive that you can download,
You are compressing a file so that it will take less space on the system.
Had to reread your question.

Go to backup and create a zip of the entire site, or specific directories. then you can download the resulting Zip file.

David, thanks.
Yes it creates it as you say, I figured it out.
The thing that tricked me was it used the first file zipped to name the zip file; i.e., the first file of hundreds was "access.php". It called the zip access.zip.
Thanks

You're welcome!
Ah... I can see where that's very confusing...
I'd likely have scratched my head about this too.
Glad you figured this out!

Check if you can search within the file management interface for the file.
