Create Scheduleded Task to Compress File and Move to Public_

[MjrNuT]

Hello,

I'm requesting to be forwarded on how to perform this operation. I'm using W2K3x64, running a few game servers and IIS for a simple download location.

How would I do the following, unless there is a better set of steps:

Option 1 -- specific directory(s)

1. In specified directory, compress file (*.dem) to ZIP format.

2. Move to desired public_html folder on same server.

3. Setup a desired frequency?


Option 2 -- regardless of directories

1. Search for *.dem files anywhere within set of directoris (i.e., X game servers).

2. Compress to ZIP format.

3. Move to desired public_html folder on same server.

4. Setup a desired frequency?


I have no idea if the above is typical as it's just what I picture in simple steps. Hoping some of you smart people can provide a How To or instructions. I've come across the following to give me some understanding so far:

I haven't had time to type up an in-depth guide for you on how to do this yet, unfortunately, but the simplest way to go about #1 would be with a .bat file and a command line Zip utility (7zip has one, as does Winzip). The .bat file could be set up with any frequency you wish via the scheduled task that you will configure to execute it.
