Like "gzip," it is for compressing single files only. It is usually used in conjunction with "tar.""zip" and "unzip" are programs for the "ZIP" archive format.

How directories can be imported and exported in Linux?
The usual way of copying or moving directories is to use the tar command. The resulting tar file (called a tarball) can also be compressed to save time in moving it to another system. To create a tar file for export, use a command such as: cd directory tar cvf export.tar . This will create a file called export.tar that contains all of the elements of that directory. You could also compress that tar file by: gzip export.tar Which creates an export.tar.gz file. Then, copy or move the file to another place or system. To import it: gunzip export tar if the file was compressed, then use tar to extract the contents: cd directory tar xvf export tar
