It’s been a while since I’ve asked you folks a question…

I think this one is pretty straight forward and I think I already know the answer but I’m hoping to confirm. The question is more one of theory or functionality then application.

Let’s say you have a directory on a remote computer (C:logs). Then you want to copy a portion of them into a sub directory (C:logstemp)

After copying the logs, you want to create a compressed zip file of the temp directory within the temp directory (C:logstemptest.zip).

If you were to do this, would you be creating an unusable zip file?

&nbsp I assume that because you’re compressing the destination directory, you would basically be creating a zip file that would not be able to complete in full as directory would be “in use”.
