Ability to tar/zip a folder (including sub-folders) for download purpose.

mario, mario, Rathindra Guha,


Read the manual of your compression program. The word you're looking for
is "recursive", when you zip a folder and all subfolders.
From the command line in unix environment type:
man tar
or
man zip
if you don't have zip try:
man gzip
And for the lazy:
TAR:
in Debian's GNU version of tar:
tar -cvvf foo.tar foo/
 tar contents of folder foo in foo.tar
