sfxcompress

We have hosted the application sfxcompress in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about sfxcompress:

The utility sfxcompress is a bash script used to pack and encrypt the current directory on a self-extracting file. It also includes the calculation of the MD5 function to check if the compressed file is correct.

Features:

• It packs and encrypts (if the user wants) the current directory on a self-extracting archive.
• The file generated can be deflated on any UNIX/Linux standard platform.
• It stores the creation timestamp as metadata, and shows it when deflated.
• It stores the MD5 cheksum, and shows it when deflated.
• The user can choose the type of compression: bzip2, gzip or 7zip.
• If the file .exclude exists in the currente directory, the script will exclude the files given (wildcards allowed).
• It uses the GNU PG encryption algorithm.

User interface: Command-line.
Programming Language: Unix Shell.
