This node compresses files or a folder to an archive. If the compression format is being changed the file extension of the archive to create is adapted automatically.

Supported archive formats are:

  • .zip
  • .jar
  • .tar
  • .tar.gz
  • .tar.bz2
  • .cpio

Note: This node cannot compress KNIME artifacts such as workflows. In order to compress workflows please use a combination of Workflow Reader and Workflow Writer instead.

This node can access a variety of different file systems. More information about file handling in KNIME can be found in the official File Handling Guide.
