Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To save a large file with fewer memory resources occupied, you can run the zip command to compress the file.
To view the contents of a compressed file, you can run the unzip command to decompress the file.
Files can be compressed or decompressed on the local board or on other boards.

Precautions

If the directory but not the target file name is specified, the target file uses the source file name. After a file is compressed, the file still exists.

If the target file requires high security, you are advised to encrypt the file.

Only a single file can be compressed or decompressed.

Example

# Compress file1.txt into file1.zip in the directory of the master main control board.

<HUAWEI> zip file1.txt file1.zip
Info: Compress cfcard:/file1.txt to cfcard:/file1.zip? [Y/N]:Y
