CVSNT (and probably CVS) recursively enter each (sub)directory and create a subdirectory called CVS.

How do I use WinZIP to create an archive that recursively contains all the files in a directory tree, except those in directories with the name "CVS"?

I'm running bash from cygwin on a window 2003 server.

Since I'm not even sure one can use WinZIP from a shell script, I better broaden the question to include jar or "tar cvfz".

I expect I'd use /usr/bin/find.

Thanks,
Siegfried

Try:

(Toggle Plain Text)

$ find . \! -name "CVS" -print | xargs tar cvfz
