Hi there

I see that Fileman supports archiving to either Zip, or Tar archives, but not compressing the latter, using Gzip, for example. Are there any plans (or perhaps patches, configuration tips) to enable Gzipping of Tar archives?

The function is named 'compress' yet Tar only archives and doesn't compress! Much software is distributed in Gzipped Tarballs, so it's somewhat perplexing that this functionality has been omitted.

Thanks
Dale

Hi,

You may be better emailing Gossamer directory (support at gt.net). They may well have a patch, or could do this for you as a custom job. I'm afraid I don't really work with FileMan as I do all my stuff using real SFTP/Telnet, so have no need for it. Otherwise I may well have come up with a plugin/hack =)

Cheers

Hi fastfoo,

FileMan DOES support tar.gz archiving.

I use FileMan and .gz archiving myself.

Are you running FileMan under Windows by any chance?

Cheers,
Boris
