Creating a flat .zip file on a MAC

Can someone please tell me how to create a flat zip file using my MAC. I control-click the files and choose compress and it puts them in a folder. Basically, I want to know how to select many photos and compress all of them into a zip file but then when one clicks on the zip file to open it it DOES NOT open another folder with the pictures in them, but rather just opens the pictures. PowerSchool only accepts flat zips.
Thanks!

You might try using a different utility. Or download the utility iTweaX - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate. Open and click on the Misc tab of the Tweaks menubar item. At the bottom click on the button labeled "Archives." This will install a new System Preferences item from which you can alter the behavior of the built-in Zip utility.

How do I zip file folders to send to Windows users? They can never open!

How do I zip file folders to send to PC users, they always have problems and can't open.

Are you trying to use one of the stuffit formats (like .sitx as you said) or do you actually want to make a .zip file which would be more logical if you are giving it to a windows user (unless they too have stuffit to stuffit expander of course)?
If you do a search for "zip" at macupdate.com you will find a whole bunch of zip tools, some of which advertise they make windows compatible zip files. For example BetterZip and WinZip Mac Edition can make windows-compatible zip files.
As I initially mentioned if you have stuffit and the windows receiver has stuffit (or stuffit expander) I don't know why there would be a problem creating a stuffit file on a mac and expanding it on windows (ignoring any possible problems introduced in the method of transmission).

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad, e.g., mp4 files. Do I have to use iTunes?

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way? I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way? I have transferred epub books using Dropbox. Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
Connect device to computer/mac
Select your device in iTunes menu.
Apps...
At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
Hope that helped.
In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....

How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

Turn on File Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing, then you should be able to see them in the other Macs' Finder sidebars (under Shared). Click on them, click Connect As, and log in with the user credentials you're sharing from.

How to read zip file

How to read zip file

Zip files are not files you read. They are compressed archives containing other files. There are many utilities available for iOS that will expand zip files into its component files. I believe Documents by Readdle will expand zip files.
However, if these zip files are attached to a pdf, I am unsure if Documents will do that. Reader and Acrobat will not open zip attachments on Macs and PCs as a security precaution.

How can I delete files from My Mac Book Pro safely to create more space?

Hi,
I need to delete files from my Mac Book Pro and I am not sure how to do it safely without affecting my computers drivers or operations.
In my Finder - All Files Section there are certain files in the Preview, marked as "PNG Image", Window Image, GIF image, XLM. when I look at them they seem scripted or sections of an image. How do I know which files are safe to remove
I seem to find a lot of duplicated files - is there a way of stopping this from happening?
Thanks from a little frustrated Mac Book user.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Transfer them to an external disk formatted in "MS-DOS (FAT)" with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
If you have the pictures in iPhoto, choose them with the Command key, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export, and copy them to the external disk. Then, connect your external disk to the PC and move them.
If you have the pictures in Finder, steps are the same, but in this case, you will have to drag the pictures you chose to the external disk that you can find in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices"

How to delete zip file in sftp server

Hi Gurus,
I am having one .zip file with data files inside on the sftp server. Can you please how to delete the .zip files in the sftp server. I am able to delete normal files by using 'rm' on sftp.
And one more request my sftp is prompting for the password everytime, then i need to enter the password manually. Can any one suggest how to write in shell script to accept that.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Nagendra

You might want to look into user equivalence and configure a certificate for ssh so it does not prompt for a password.
It will also allow you to use sftp without a prompt for a password.
On the server side:
Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and remove the # from the following:
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys
Then restart the ssh server:
/etc/init.d/sshd restart
Login as the user for whom this is for:
su - <username>
mkdir .ssh
chmod 700 .ssh
On the client side:
Run the following command:
ssh-keygen -t rsa (omit password)
Then use the following to copy the public key from the client to the
corresponding login .ssh directory on the server side;
scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub username@remote_host:.ssh/authorized_keys
