Feat Req: ZIP/TAR via SSH

[macmedix@…]

It would be really great if you could add a feature to compress or decompress a remote file when we are connected via SSH. This would be so very helpful!!! Ideally ZIP, but tar would do. This could either be a right-click command, and/or an action menu item.

We will try to push this into 3.1. Will only work for SSH connections.

In r4316. Available configuration options:

• For archiving. For {0} the absolute path is given.

  defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck archive.command -string "tar -czpPfv {0}.tar.gz {0}"
  

• For unarchiving. {0} is the absolute path to unarchive, {1} is the destination directory

  defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck unarchive.command.zip -string "unzip {0} -d {1}"
  defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck unarchive.command.tar -string "tar -xvpPf {0} -C {1}"
  defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck unarchive.command.tgz -string "tar -xzvpPf {0} -C {1}"
  defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck unarchive.command.tar.gz -string "tar -xzvpPf {0} -C {1}"
  defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck unarchive.command.tar.bz2 -string "tar -xjvpPf {0} -C {1}"

Fixed default archive command in r4317.

Please consider the above commands as deprecated. They have been replaced in the final implementation with

defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck archive.command.create.tar -string "tar -cvpPf {0}.tar {0}"
defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck archive.command.create.tar.gz -string "tar -czvpPf {0}.tar.gz {0}"
defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck archive.command.create.tar.bz2 -string "tar -cjvpPf {0}.tar.bz2 {0}"
defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck archive.command.create.zip -string "zip -rv {0}.zip {0}"

defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck archive.command.expand.tar -string "tar -xvpPf {0} -C {1}"
defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck archive.command.expand.tar.gz -string "tar -xzvpPf {0} -C {1}"
defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck archive.command.expand.tar.bz2 -string "tar -xjvpPf {0} -C {1}"
defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck archive.command.expand.zip -string "unzip -n {0} -d {1}"

The default archiver command is set using

defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck archive.default -string "tar.gz"

Would it be possible also to add regular .gz files? It would be convenient for mysql slow query logs. Thanks :-)

Filenames & Pathnames which contain a space are a problem, and prevent this awesome feature from creating archives. as of Version 3.1.1 (4457). Spaces will need to be encoded, or otherwise dealt with. Thanks very much!

That should be fixed in the nightly build. Refer to #2884.
