WinZip on Windows 2000
Option 1
- Select the files you want to zip together for uploading to the wiki. (Hold down the ctrl- or shift- key while clicking to select multiple files.) Remember directories cannot be unzipped on the wiki. Only select files.
- Right-click and select "Add to Zip."
WinZip will open. Click New and select a filename for the zipfile like MyFiles.zip.
- Click "Add"
Exit WinZip.
You are now ready to attach your zip file.
Option 2
Right click on the desktop or within a folder and select New->WinZip File to create a new empty zip file. Give it a name.
- Select the files to be uploaded and drag them to the empty zip file. (Hold down the ctrl- or shift- key while clicking to select multiple files.) Remember directories cannot be unzipped on the wiki. Only select files.
When prompted, click Add.
You are now ready to attach your zip file.
Option 3
This does not work because the resulting zip file will have files within a subdirectory. It is the only way I know of with WinZip to create a zip file completely from the file manager (without a WinZip dialog coming up).
- Place the files to be uploaded in a directory.
Right-click the directory and select Add to DirectoryName.zip.
You are now ready to attach your zip file.
