Hi There,

Hope someone can help me.

To extract the package named as file.ezpkg, I used tar -xzf file.ezpkg, it worked very well.

Just want to know the right command to archive or zip it back properly.

Please Help.

Regards
John Smith...

Try compressing the package directory as you would normally.

# tar -vzcf ezauthorize.ezpkg path/to/ezauthorize/extension/package/directory;

Cheers,
Heath

Is this command to archive(zip) the directories, sub-directories and files back into file.ezpkg??

Yes. The most important key I have seen with respect to ezpkg format is the directory structure.

Cheers Heath,

I will have a go. Thanks anyway.

Another thing is there any way to compress ez publish directory on windows into one file?. I don't trust winzip.

I need this to transfer to my linux server.

Any recommendation from anyone????
