I’m moving hosts and one of my directories is huge, so I’m wondering if there’s a way to zip it up before I transfer it to the new server. this is on a windows server and I can only run classic ASP on this account.

any suggestion

There wasn’t a way to do it with that host. However, If the new host uses cpanel and there is a way to zip and unzip via the file manager utility.

Contact your host and ask them to do it.
