Post Reply? I already uploaded 350MB of data, much of it already compressed but I want to make it all one file for download (on the server). I no longer have pkzip or I would have tried compressing it first. Is there a way I can zip this file on the server so a user can download it and expand it on his PC? slowdownnow.org The almost serious antidote to workaholsim
