Hi!
I would like my bot to compress a directory (containing sub dirs and files, but its like a few kilos only) and then sending it
Is that doable?
When i use the compressfile function it says it needs a file
Is that possible to compress a directory?
Thx in advance

nope

the easiest way to accomplish that is:
Code:

exec tar zcf dir.tgz .
