So, the steps that we would normally follow using a zip program will be incorporated into the game?
Appreciate the clarification and let me just say that this is an incredible addition for online leagues if it is doing what I think it will do. I can't explain my excitement with this added to the game!  |
You can easily select which files you want to have in the online league file. Click on "Create Files". This will actually not create any files but it will search what we have and it will write a list of the files into a text file /import_export/league_files.txt. Use it for tools or whatever.
When that's done, click on "Create Archive". This will create a tar.gz file /import_export/.
For our purpose tar.gz files are better than zip files. They can easily be used on Unix servers, and most Zip-Clients for Windows and MAC know the format, too. And the compressed file is much smaller than a zip file, because the whole archive gets zipped, instead of each single file as Winzip does it.
To upload the file, click on "Upload Archive". It will go into the "Team exports directory" on the server.
