Can you create your own folder names in zip and add into that?

. I want to create a customised zip file with my own folder names within the zip so that I don’t reveal the structure on our server. That is if I have a folder of:

Artwork
 Folder1
 Folder2
 Folder3

I would actually like to add those in to a zip file as:

Friendly_name
 Another friendly name
 A third friendly name
 A fourth friendly name

At the moment I have
Zip.KeepPaths = true
Zip.RootDirectory = path
Zip.RelativePaths = true

Which stores them in subdirectories, but they are the same as the ones we use internally. I want to create user-friendly ones that are more descriptive. I am manually adding Folder1, Folder2 and Folder3, so programmatically it’s not a problem to create friendly folder names as I go. Is this possible?

Thanks for your help.

There is not ability to change file paths in the result archive when you zip files, but you can change them after you zipped files

e.g.

Code:

//JScript
/*
Folder to zip
/FilesToZip
/DOC001
/DOC002
/DOC003

*/

var path = Server.MapPath("/FilesToZip");
var zipFileName = Server.MapPath("/result.zip");

zip.New(zipFileName);
zip.KeepPaths = true;
zip.RootDirectory = path;
zip.RelativePaths = true;

zip.FileList.Add("*.*");

zip.Save();

zip.Open(zipFileName);
zip.Read();
for (var i=0;i<zip.Count-1;i++)
{
if (zip.FilePathName(i) == "DOC001\\\\")
zip.FilePathName(i) = "Prospects\\\\";
else if (zip.FilePathName(i) == "DOC002\\\\")
zip.FilePathName(i) = "Drafts\\\\";
else if (zip.FilePathName(i) == "DOC003\\\\")
zip.FilePathName(i) = "Events\\\\";
}

if (zip.Modified)
zip.Save();

PS. FilePathName property changed to read/write in version 1.21 (before it was read-only). so if you have older version (you can find your zip component version in zip.Version property) send update request to support@softcomplex.com

Thanks for the quick reply. It looks like that will work, but I do have just version 1.0.

You can't actually e-mail support any more as it bounces back telling you to use the forum. So could you please let me know how to get hold of the latest version, or email it to me at steve dot owen at gamespress dot com?

Doesn't it say to use the support system (which is not the same as forum)?

Oh, yes, you're right. Sorry. I thought it was the same thing. Have submitted a request. Thanks for your help.
