winzip parameter in xpsmtp
-
Hi All
Iam trying to send out an email using xpsmtp. The process works fine. I had one question though how would I winzip the file and then email it? is there a xp-cmd that I can use?
Thanks

the registered version of Winzip accepts command line parameters...which you could call from xp_cmdshell.
PKZIP/PKUNZIP is another program which can do the same thing. there once was a free verison of it (2.5), but you'd have to hunt for it.

You'd just compress the file before attaching it. There are a number of command-line compression tools. One we've used extensively is GZip (www.gzip.org).
