Creating archives is possible using Hostinger File Manager. If you would like to make an archive with SSH, all you need to do is:
Step 1 - Connection
First, enable SSH access and connect to your account using SSH. Open the directory, where the files and folders, which you want to compress, are located. For that:
Run
lscommand. If you see the needed files and folders, then you can go to Step 2If the needed content is in a subdirectory, reach it by running:
cd path/to/files
where "path/to/files" is changed by an actual path to your files. For example, if your files are located in public_html/new/version1, then the command should be "cd new/version1".
Step 2 - Creating an archive
You only need 1 command to create an archive. The command is different based on what you would like to compress and to which archive format you want to save it:
Archive of separate files
ZIP: zip archive-name.zip filename1.php filename2.php filename3.php
TAR: tar -cvf archive.tar filename1.php filename2.php filename3.php
TAR.GZ: tar -zcf NewArchive.tar.gz filename1.php filename2.php filename3.php
Where instead of "archive" write the name of your future archive, and after that - files which you would like to add to the archive.
Archive of the whole directory
ZIP: zip -r archive.zip DirectoryName
TAR: tar -cvf archive.tar DirectoryName
TAR.GZ: tar -zcf archive.tar.gz DirectoryName
Creating an archive takes some time until it's finished, you will see this from the new line:
-bash-4.2$
It means, that the process is completed successfully 😊
