We use a SUSE system here to archive spectra collected from NMR spectrometers. We therefore need to serve out the data for some of our users via the web (local users can use file sharing). BUT Each spectrum is saved as a directory contained a fair number of files. Is there a method of archiving directories on the fly, and serving the result as a single archive file (which could be decompressed by the client's web browser). The ideal would be to compress into a "sit" archive because most clients would be Macintoshes. OR Is there some other way to download a complete directory with basically a single click? Thanks for your feedback.
