GZip on Linux?
Okay i want to zip up a directory and all it's files and perserving it's tree structure into 1 file so that I can download it. Once I am done downloading it, I would like to upload it to another server and extract it there; again perserving it's tree structure.
What is the command syntax to compress it and decompressing it this way?
Would it perserve it's permission settings? Will it conflict with who owns what files on the new server?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
