Hi there,

I try to zip a folder with files to download them. Annoyingly I had this working earlier. The command should be: zip -r myZipFile.zip folderToZip . I think I am doing something wrong with the syntax. While in a bash console I type something like this: zip -r /home/username/myZipFile.zip /home/username/myFolderToZip/

I get an message saying zip warning: name not matched: blablabla zip error: Nothing to do! blablabla

What am I doing wrong?

that sounds about right- do you already have a zip file there? maybe you can't overwrite it?
