Good day monks,
I've been thinking about a web authoring project that includes creating html pages. I was wondering how I might, after the user is done working on their page, give the user the option of zipping their page up on my server space, and putting it in a given directory for them to download? I've got no clue where to start with this, so any help is appreciated.
