[cobalt-users] a compression problem!!!

["Martin Surasky" <msurasky@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a problem that seems very simple to solve and... shame on me, I can't
do it....
I have a large site in my PC that I want to Upload to my Cobalt and I
thought that it would be easier to make a tar.gz with all the files I have
in my PC and upload them in that way (or maybe to send a .zip to the server
and decompress the file once uploaded)...
 1. With the first option, I couldn't find a tar for DOS that actually
works!!! (even though I found the gzip for PC to compress the files, without
a tar it's worthless to my need, because gzip doesn't bundle files into one
compressed file but it does a one to one compression)....
 2. The second option (do a .zip and decompress the file on Linux seemed to
work at first glance, I found the "unstuff" command that decompress .zip
files on Linux but if I upload the .zip as a binary, the .cgi files doesn't
work when decompressed with "unstuff" and when I send the .zip file in ascii
transfer mode, the "unstuff" doesn't work at all!!!....

Incredible but true... I still cannot solve it!!!

Thanks to everybody!!
