Zip List
Section titled “Zip List”Read entry metadata from an archive without extracting it.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name | Names the returned saved path, metadata or comment for later steps. Extraction returns a success result rather than a new archive. |
| Zip File | The complete application-relative server archive filename. For creation, prepare its writable parent directory first. |
| Output | Includes the named returned path, entry list, comment or extraction result in the action response. Default off; this does not download the archive itself. |
Worked example
Section titled “Worked example”Read a test archive and inspect each entry’s path, type, uncompressed size and compressedSize. Compare these entries with the files used to create it.
Archive boundaries
Section titled “Archive boundaries”An entry path is a path within the archive, not a public URL or an extracted server file. The implementations label Deflate separately and otherwise use a broad None label, so do not treat compressionMethod as a complete codec inventory. Timestamp representation can differ by backend.
Connect the file workflow
Section titled “Connect the file workflow”Use the actual returned archive path after creation. Use File Download when a browser should receive it, and keep any private files behind a protected server action.
Check your result
Section titled “Check your result”You can configure the archive operation and verify the intended entries, metadata or extracted files.
