Anyone have a file archiver like RIP -- that does not DO the file ?

 [1/3] from: doug:vos:eds at: 27-Jun-2001 13:46


RIP.r is ok for most things... However, need a file archiver that I can use to un-compress huge group of files after FTP-ing to web-server. Don't want to put the file in CGI-BIN and have to mark executable... that is the way a RIP file would have to work. Anybody done something like that? -Doug

i would use rip in this way: upload rip-file to %boss-upload.r have a cgi which does %boss-upload.r, with password check upload and call cgi, both by rebol

I don't but I suggest modifying rip.r: It should watch a special directory, polling every number of seconds. You can call it "compressed/", for eg. When you upload some files into this directory, they are noticed by rip.r and moved to another directory to be decompressed ("decompressed/"), and the compressed archive deleted. You then change directory to decompressed/ to get the files you are interested in. So the overall process for the user is: 1) upload to one location 2) download from another location You have just one program running on the server, too. Anton.
