Windows OS. I want to compress files and folders into archive.
I will transfer them using SecureFTP to a Linux machine.
On Linux machine I would like to decompress files and folders into
original structure.
Can anyone help me on the program to use for compression on Windows? I
use Winzip and WinRAR right now.
Maybe I can use Winzip or WinRAR to compress them in .tar.gz format
but I haven't figured it out.
7-ZIP for Windows from [1]http://www.7-zip.com is Free Software and
can compress and uncomress .gz and .bz2 files.
To get the files from Linux to Windows and back use the SecurityFTP
option in FileZilla from [2]http://www.filezilla.com/ -- it will work
with any SSH equiped server.
