A zip archive is a collection of compressed files. A gzipped tar is a compressed collection (of uncompressed files). Thus a zip archive is a randomly accessible list of concatenated compressed items, and a .tar.gz is an archive that must be fully expanded before the catalog is accessible.

tar -cvzf tarlearn.tar.gz --remove-files mytemp/* If the folder is mytemp then if you apply the above it will zip and remove all the files in the folder but leave it alone. tar -cvzf tarlearn.tar.gz --remove-files --exclude='*12_2008*' --no-recursion mytemp/* You can give exclude patterns and also specify not to look into subfolders too

Jun 28, 2012 · $ tar -czvf test.tar.gz ./file1 ./file2 ... $ tar -tzf test.tar.gz ./file1 ./file2 # to extract do: $ tar -xzf test.tar.gz After passing f option you should give the filename of the archive you are creating.

This makes it possible to pretend small zip files are streamable (such as from a trusted http server) but its only skin-deep. zip's aren't and can't be streamable so bsdtar won't solve the problem of mixing big data with zip, nor will it really assist with any problems of working with zip other than maybe licensing as bsdtar (libarchive-tools ...

Jan 13, 2023 · The resulting archive.tar.zst files can be directly unarchived with modern GNU tar, tar xf archive.tar.zst; the archive.squashfs can either be mounted directly udisksctl loop-setup -f archive.squashfs and used like a DVD (i.e., you can directly browse the files on it), or de-archived using unsquashfs archive.squashfs

None of the other part files are recognized as .tar, .rar, .zip, or .gz. I've tried concatenating them using the DOS copy command, but that doesn't work, possibly because part0 thru part6 and part8 are each 100Mb, while part7 is 53Mb and therefore likely the last part. I've tried several different logical orders for the files in concatenation ...

If your replacement utility hasn't this parameter and/or you need specify additional parameters, then use pipes (add parameters if necessary):

Nov 19, 2021 · After much deliberation, I finally opted to use 7-Zip: "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tzip "C:\Users\Me\Desktop\MyFolder.zip" "C:\Users\Me\Desktop\MyFolder" The destination machine without 7-Zip could still read the file, but more importantly, the speed of the zip creation was magnitudes faster than Windows's UI or the Tar function.
