  Hi,

  Is it possible to select a folder

  Zip all files in that folder

  And rename the zip file with todays date and a filename i.e. 2014_12_08_FileMakerBackup.zip and

  move the new file to another folder

  Delete all the files in the original folder?

  Thanks,

  John

  Hi,

  It would be possible to write an AppleScript to do that, but it would involve downloading the folder to your Mac, creating the Zip archive on your Mac, and uploading the Zip archive back to the server. There's currently no way for Fetch to tell the server to create the Zip archive directly.

  Thanks,
