A File Compression Active Server Component!

ServerZip provides real-time file compression on the server. It is designed for use with Microsoft Active Server Pages scripts, and offers a range of options including provision of a listing of available files. ServerZip creates compressed files in the industry-standard ZIP format, which can be unzipped using any other standard zip utility program.

Allow remote tele-workers and home-workers to collect files more quickly and efficiently. No need for on-site staff to compress them first.

Provide on-demand pre-download compression of files that change regularly. Users always get the latest version, while saving on download time.

Quickly backup databases or other non-static files across the Web or your intranet. Save time and reduce network traffic.

Compress log files and scheduled database dump files before downloading them to another site. Ideal for remote Web site administrators.

The ServerZip component exposes a range of properties and methods that allow you to:

• Compress one or more files, either fully specified or by using wildcards, on demand and in real-time, on the server
• Include a hyperlink in a Web page for the user to collect the compressed file remotely across the Web
• Specify if matching files in all subdirectories, or all the contents of those subdirectories, are to be included in the compressed file
• Control the compression rate/speed trade-off, so as to optimize usability depending on file type and size
• Specify that the original files are deleted once successfully compressed
• Apply a password to securely encrypt the compressed file as it is created, allowing controlled distribution of files
• Provide users with selected listings of files on the server, within a Web page in their browser
• Add custom text and HTML to the listing to create a range of output formats
• Delete compressed files after collection, depending on their age, in a single operation
• Specify source list directories as physical or virtual paths, allowing flexible access to files
• Use the included Security Manager utility to control the options that can be applied, so as to protect your system
• Use all aspects of ServerZip seamlessly across the Web with standard HTTP and TCP/IP protocols
