Zip a folder and download C#

[p.benitez]

I want to ask if there is a way/function to zip a folder and download it in C# language.

I want something like the following example but in C# language:

Code: Select all

// Destination 
File file = new File("/home/openkm/import/folderExport.zip");

// OpenKM folder contents to be exported
String fldPath = "/okm:root/Permisos de circulación/import";
 
FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(file);
StringWriter out = new StringWriter();
File tmp = FileUtils.createTempDir();
RepositoryExporter.exportDocuments(null, fldPath, tmp, false, false, out, new TextInfoDecorator(fldPath));
ArchiveUtils.createZip(tmp, "import", os);
org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.deleteDirectory(tmp);
IOUtils.closeQuietly(out);
os.flush();
os.close();

You can find some Java code in com.openkm.servlet.frontend.DownloadServlet.java where is take in consideration the folder download from zip. In this kind of scenarios are several problems, some folders can contains a huge number of documents, in this cases is not good idea live downloading, better packaging in background and then send a mail. Here the best will be implemented a rest method for doing it. I suggest take a look at com.openkm.ws.rest.* and for example in FolderService I think will be good place for doing it. Obviously this feature need to extend the actual source code. I think this could be interesting feature for more people if you provide any patch or similar we will include in source code.
