perl_99_monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am trying to move a bunch of files to unix environment to windows. Every week I have enhancements coming so want to move them as a package to the unix box. Between two unix servers I am able to use tar and untar and get the work done. Is there anything similar utility that I can use whicle moving the files from windows based server to unix server? I tried using ftp but moving one file at a time did not seem like a good idea... Is there a way I can read a file consisting of file names on windows env and giz them or tar them and move to unix? Thanks in advance..

    unix's zip is compatible with "PkZip for the Command Line" (not free), with "WinZip Command Line Support Add-On" (free with WinZip 9.0 license), with "7-Zip Command Line Version" (free), and with any other tool that supports .zip.

    Of course, there are ports of tar (Cygwin and ???), and a Windows version of gzip.

    Hi,

    What does your question have to do with perl?

    Anyway, cygwin? It even comes with perl... You'll end up with all the familiar unix utilities.
