Hi,

I am trying to compress using the zip/unzip command given with Oracle
in Unix.

The objective is to create a zip file, for e.g. for the following,
from any directory other than tt, without the directory name.

tt/f1.txt
tt/f2.txt

into tt.zip. Say I'm using this command: zip -r tt.zip tt/

In other words, I want the zip file to have only f1.txt and f2.txt.
I am not able to compress without the directory names.

I have seen all the options (shown with -h option) given with zip and
also tried to see if unzip has any option to extract without the
directory names. I could not find.

Can anyone please advise. If there is any other Unix compression
commands, to achieve this (.zip format).

Thanks,
Vijay

Please cd into the directory at hand.
As far as I know this is the only method to drop the directory names.
This applies to tar and other utilities too.

Thanks for your response.

Actually, there's an option with the zip command, -j, which helps to
drop the directory names as I was expecting.
I overlooked this option earlier. Now, it's fine.
