Frends.Zip.CreateArchive / 1.3.0

Summary

Packs files or whole folders into a ZIP archive, optionally flattening the folder structure, renaming duplicates and protecting the result with a password. The source files can be removed once packed.

Typical use — bundling a batch for transfer as a single unit; note that a ZIP password is weak protection, so use PGP for anything genuinely sensitive
