command line compression tool

**Sn00f** · November 17, 2004

Hi

*I will remotely send files to my computers (on a school lan)

I will not disturb users and that's why I want to do that silently.

I'm using windows 2000 and I would like to use a command line compression utility whitch I could use in my batch scripts.

I wanted to compress the files and then in my script (batch file) uncompress that.

Is there better than pkzip or pkunzip? (FREE tool)

Winzip has a command line add-on to their software. Check it out. http://www.winzip.com

thanks a lot !

I'll try these ones (not winrar and winzip, they have a windows gui and I don't want to install any software)

We already have ultimate zip installed (I will also try if this one has a command line tool)

thanks
