ServerZip description
Implement ZIP format file compression on your server with ServerZip

ServerZip provides real-time file compression on the server. It is designed for use with Microsoft Active Server Pages scripts, and offers a range of options including provision of a listing of available files. ServerZip compresses files using the standard ZIP format, archives that can be extracted with any ZIP utility.

The ServerZip component exposes a range of properties and methods that allow you to:
· Compress one or more files, either fully specified or by using wildcards, on demand and in real-time, on the server.
· Include a hyperlink in a Web page for the user to collect the compressed file remotely across the Web.
· Specify if matching files in all subdirectories, or all the contents of those subdirectories, are to be included in the compressed file.
· Control the compression rate/speed trade-off, so as to optimize usability depending on file type and size.
· Specify that the original files are deleted once successfully compressed.
· Apply a password to securely encrypt the compressed file as it is created, allowing controlled distribution of files.
· Provide users with selected listings of files on the server, within a Web page in their browser.
· Add custom text and HTML to the listing to create a range of output formats.
· Delete compressed files after collection, depending on their age, in a single operation.
· Specify source list directories as physical or virtual paths, allowing flexible access to files.
· Use the included Security Manager utility to control the options that can be applied, so as to protect your system.
· Use all aspects of ServerZip seamlessly across the Web with standard HTTP and TCP/IP protocols.

Here are some key features of "ServerZip":

· Allow remote tele-workers and home-workers to collect files more quickly and efficiently. No need for on-site staff to compress them first.
· Provide on-demand pre-download compression of files that change regularly. Users always get the latest version, while saving on download time.
· Quickly backup databases or other non-static files across the Web or your Intranet. Save time and reduce network traffic.
· Compress log files and scheduled database dump files before downloading them to another site. Ideal for remote Web site administrators.
