7zip is an open source zipping tool for Windows. Since I often do a lot of fairly intense zipping, I needed to know how to create a zip archive of a directory and its subdirectories with 7zip from the command line. Here is the syntax:
7z a -r -tzip ArchiveFileNameHere.zip DirectoryNameHere
That is it. The
a
adds the files and the
-r
recurses the subdirectories. 7zip has a number of compression options so the
-t
option selects the .zip format.
