# zip

## Zip a folder recursively

```
zip -r wme.zip scan_folder
```

Where `wme.zip` is the name of the zip you wanna zip, and `scan_folder` is the name of the folder you want to recursively zip.

## Zip a folder with encryption
```
zip -er wme.zip scan_folder
```

## Zip everything in the current directory *except* specific extensions
Like if you wanted to zip everything except `.doc` and `.docx` files:

```
zip -r reports.zip . --exclude "*.doc" --exclude "*.docx"
```
