This Unix program is compatible with the zip program for Windows. To zip files, first have the files uploaded to your server, then log into your shell account with SSH.
Navigate to the directory where the files are that you want to zip. (for instance by typing cd www then cd sounds).
Then type: zip myzip file1 file2 file3
This puts the files "file1", "file2", and "file3" into a new zip archive called "myzip.zip".
On the other hand, if you had the archive"myzip.zip" and wanted to get back the files, you would type: unzip myzip

Typing zip or unzip by itself will give you a usage summary, showing nearly all the options available.
