ZIP Tab

This tab of the ZIP Files action specifies the ZIP file and the files to be added or updated.

ZIP

Action: The action to perform on the ZIP file:

•	Add always adds any matching files (if the ZIP file does not already exist, it is created).

•	Update adds any new files to the ZIP file and replaces any existing items that have been modified more recently than their corresponding version in the ZIP file (if the ZIP file does not already exist, it is created).

•	Freshen replaces only existing items in a ZIP file, and only those that were modified more recently than the version in the ZIP file (the ZIP file is not created if it doesn't exist).

•	Delete removes files and/or folders from an existing ZIP file.

Source Folder: The source directory containing the files to add to the ZIP file (optional, will use the current directory if not specified).

Files to ZIP: Used to specify files or folders to specifically include or exclude (optional).

Include subfolders: Determines if subdirectories will be searched recursively for matching files.

Note: The Delete action is always recursive.

Don't save path information for files in subfolders: If checked, the folder information for recursed folders is not stored in the ZIP file.

Save full path info: If checked, the full path of each file is stored in the ZIP file. If unchecked (the default), only relative paths of files in subfolders are stored in the ZIP file.

Dest Zip File: The destination ZIP file to add/update the files to (required).

Password: Password to encrypt the compressed files in the ZIP file with. The contents of each file in the ZIP file will be encrypted using Zip 2.0 password encryption.

Encryption method: Specifies the encryption method to use:

•	PKZIP 2.0-compatible: Uses standard encryption to secure the file using PKZip version 2.0 encryption.

•	128-, 192-, or 256-bit AES: Uses strong encryption to secure the .zip file using the PKZip version 5.1 Single Password AES Encryption format using 128, 192 and 256 bit key lengths.
