Creating .tar.gz Archive Easily in Windows

Submitted by whiztech on Sun, 11/30/2008 - 08:44

You might somehow want to create a .tar.gz archive in Windows. Currently the web control panel that I use is DirectAdmin and it doesn't support extracting files from .zip archive. Uploading a single .tar.bz archive and extract it on the server is better (and faster) than uploading lots of files using ftp. 7-zip, an open source file archiver can create a .tar.gz archive easily.

1. You need the latest 7-zip 4.61 beta (or later). Download and install.

2. Select the folder that you want to add to the .tar.gz archive. Right click, and select 7-zip > 'Add to archive...' (1).

3. We need to create a .tar archive first. Choose 'tar' as Archive format (2).

4. Then, right click the newly created .tar archive. Select 7-zip > 'Add to archive' again. This time, choose 'GZip' (3) as the Archive format. For maximum compression, choose 'Ultra' (4) for compression level, and select 258 (5) for 'Word size'. You've successfully create a .tar.gz archive!

kalau nak lebih 1337 lagi, boleh download dari http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/

kebanyakan standard command dalam console yang digunakan oleh unix platform, boleh digunakan dalam command prompt dalam windows.

contoh tar.exe

tar -xvf abcdef.tar
tar -cvf abcdef.tar abcdef
gzip abcdef.tar abcdef.tar.gz
gunzip abcdef.tar.gz

dan sebagainya.

Download WinTar from http://www.miscosoftware.com/WinTar/store/WinTar.exe
