Byron Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I wrote this into a form so all you have to do is enter the simple folder path (ie: cgi-bin or images) and click "Create Zip". Just upload this text file to any directory and give it a .php extension. http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/temp/zip_archive.txt This tool will create a zipped copy of the directory you enter inside the form and output it in the directory it's run in. Leaves your original directory as it was. Cheers, Byron edit: Use this instead (see post below) http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/temp/backup_zip.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Use this perl script instead. I found out later after much testing that Zip Archives doesn't copy file permissions and all files get reverted back to 644 even if they where 755. I didn't write this script but it works really well. Upload this to your ROOT directory and chmod 755 and give it a .pl or .cgi extension. http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/temp/backup_zip.txt You couild actually run this in any directory but if it's not in the root then you have to give the directory path the full path: ie: /home/byron/public_html/cgi-bin in the root directory you just give it the simple folder path. ie: cgi-bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
