How to create zip files using Terminal?

I don't know much about Terminal, but I need to compress a folder from one external hard drive directly to my Time Capsule and split archives to 4GB each. What is the command to do that?

zip

  • How to create html files using Swing

    I am developing a billing system in java. I want to generate cash memo and other related documents in HTML format. I have explored html package in swing but without result. Please help me.
    Arshad

    Hi,
    I agree with the previous poster. An additional way of generating HTML would be to directly write it. Class SHTMLWriter in package com.lightdev.app.shtm of application SimplyHTML at http://www.lightdev.com/template.php4?id=3 gives this opportunity.
    With this, you can do something such as   /**
       * example of synthesizing HTML code to a Writer using
       * class SHTMLWriter
       * @param fileName the name of the file to write HTML to
      public void writeHTML(String fileName) {
        try {
          FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(fileName);
          SHTMLWriter w = new SHTMLWriter(fw);
          w.startTag(HTML.Tag.HTML.toString(), null);
          w.startTag(HTML.Tag.BODY.toString(), null);
          SimpleAttributeSet set = new SimpleAttributeSet();
          set.addAttribute(CSS.Attribute.FONT_FAMILY, "SansSerif");
          set.addAttribute(CSS.Attribute.FONT_SIZE, "12");
          w.startTag(HTML.Tag.P.toString(), set);
          fw.write("some text");
          w.endTag(HTML.Tag.P.toString());
          w.endTag(HTML.Tag.BODY.toString());
          w.endTag(HTML.Tag.HTML.toString());
        catch(Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      }The HTML output is hard coded in this example. Certainly any HTML code can be created dynamically/programmatically instead. Class SHTMLWriter is partly meant as a convenience class for writing HTML. One can just through start and end tags as in above example. In the start tag any valid AttributeSet can be given.

  • How to creating pdf documents using c# and Adobe SDK

    I downloaded Adobe SDK and go through the samples given in sdk. But i couldn't find any sample code how to create PDF file using C# code.
    Please, help me with this.
    Thanks.

    For desktop-based solutions, look at the Adobe Acrobat SDK which enables development around Acrobat itself. Or if you wish a stand-alone solution (for either desktop or server), we offer the Adobe PDFLibrary, which is the same technology used by all of Adobe's applications.
    For the server, we have our LiveCycle products including LC Generator.

  • How do you create *.exe files using Labview6.0

    I shall be grateful if anyone can give me the following info or direct me as to where i can find it..
    (a) What is the procedure of creating executable files using labview6.0
    (b) Do i require any other components other than the labview base package.

    In addition to previous post,
    a) after buying Application Builder (which is included only in LV6i Professional Package), you'll notice a new entry in LV Tools menu (Build Application or Shared Library[DLL]). This opens App Builder (a panel where you can setup many parameters for the VI/LLB to 'build'). It's not complicated and you can use default values for the first try (after selecting your VI)
    b) here is the link to start with App Builder [http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?lang=US&pc=mn&cid=2448]

  • 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 to create txt file in utf-8?

    Hi,
    if i create a txt file using vb in fdm, it is created with the ansi encoding. Is there any option how to create this file in utf-8?
    Thx

    Forms6i uses Oracle 8.0.6 client libraries. MetaLink Note 207303.1 lists supported client/server configurations, and the last database version supported with those libraries is Oracle 9.2. The only exception is made for e-Business Suite (Oracle Applications). Therefore, you configuration is not supported.
    Anyway, Oracle 8.0.6 does not support AL32UTF8 well. You should select UTF8 as the database character set (not national character set!). You need to select a check box on DBCA interface (possibly unavailable in fast/default installation path) which allows you to see non-recommended character sets.

  • How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

    How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!
    I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
    If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • How to create a file in the server?

    Hi,
    I'm making a webservice that has to generate a XML file, sign it using another webservice and return this XML. The problem is that i don't know how to create the file in the server throught webservice.
    I use this code in the webservice to generate the XML and after I return the XML to client in a byte[]
         static void outputDocumentToFile(Document myDocument, String path) {
            //setup this like outputDocument
              try {
                   // XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter("  ", true);
                   XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter();
                   //output to a file
                   FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(path);
                   outputter.output(myDocument, writer);
                   writer.close();
              } catch(java.io.IOException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
        }But the file is generated in the client-side, how can I generate the file in the server-side?
    Thanks very much.

    Well the File object doesn't create a file it's simply an abstract representation of file and directory pathnames.
    You can try something like this:
    <%
    try
    // get the path to the web server root
    // I read somewhere not to use 'getRealPath' for some reason which I
    // can't seem to remember :S Hopefull someone can enlighten us :)
    String path = application.getRealPath("/project/jsp/demo.txt");
    File file = new File(path);
    PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file)));
    writer.println("Hello World!");
    writer.close();
    catch (Exception e)
    System.err.println(e.getMessage());
    %>
    Hope this helps :)

  • How to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports

    I would like to know how to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports.
    Thanks,

    Please make your question more clear . Also mention the reports version.
    1) If you are runnning reports in Unix, you can give
