Zip Files (legacy)

This node zips files into an archive. The path to the files has to be contained in the input table.

This legacy filehandling node has been replaced by Compress Files/Folder / Compress Files/Folder (Table) and will be deprecated in the foreseeable future. For further information about the new file handling framework see the File Handling Guide.

A zip file.

Output file: Path of the archive that will be created. You can use local filesystem paths or URL, given that they are allow for writing.
Path handling: Specifies how the file path shall be handled inside the archive.
Use full path
The full filepath will be used for every file.
Use only filename

If file exists...: Specifies the behavior if a file with the same name already exists.
