How to zip files from folder but keep it separated

I have 1 folder that contains many txt files. I want to zip them but separated.
Example:
In this folder I have A.txt, B.txt, C.txt.
I want to zip all the files but separated so the result will be A.zip, B.zip, C.zip.
string outputPath = "C:\\Users\\Desktop\\VA";
string path = outputPath + "\\VA_" + tglskrg;
foreach (string dirFile in Directory.GetDirectories(path))
{
foreach (string fileName in Directory.GetFiles(dirFile))
{
using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())
{
zip.UseUnicodeAsNecessary = true;
zip.AddFile(); //dont know what to put
zip.Save(); //dont know what to put
}
}
}
Any help will be appreciated.
I'm using dotnetzip (Ionic.zip) and C# Visual Studio Express 2010.

You could do that as follows:
foreach (string fileName in Directory.GetFiles(dirFile))
{
var zipFile = Path.Combine(outputPath, Path.ChangeExtension(fileName, ".zip"));
using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())
{
zip.AddFile(fileName); // add A.txt to the zip file
zip.Save(zipFile); // save as A.zip
}
}
This takes all the files found in the folder dirFile, and saves them under outputPath, with the same file name but replacing the extension with .zip.

c# UnauthorizedAccessException when using ZipArchive but not ZipFile

I am able to zip files from a specific folder using ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory in the following test code (I only used this code to test how zipping works):
// Where the files are located
string strStartPath = txtTargetFolder.Text;
// Where the zip file will be placed
string strZipPath = #"C:\Users\smelmo\Desktop\testFinish\" + strFileNameRoot + "_" + txtDateRange1.Text.Replace(#"/", "_") + "_" + txtDateRange2.Text.Replace(#"/", "_") + ".zip";
ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(strStartPath, strZipPath);
However, this zips together ALL of the contents in the folder. I am trying to zip together specific items in the folder using ZipArchive in the following code:
// Where the files are located
string strStartPath = txtTargetFolder.Text;
// Where the zip file will be placed
string strZipPath = #"C:\Users\smelmo\Desktop\testFinish\" + strFileNameRoot + "_" + txtDateRange1.Text.Replace(#"/", "_") + "_" + txtDateRange2.Text.Replace(#"/", "_") + ".zip";
using (ZipArchive archive = ZipFile.OpenRead(strStartPath))
{
foreach (ZipArchiveEntry entry in archive.Entries)
{
if (!(entry.FullName.EndsWith(".TIF", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)))
{
entry.ExtractToFile(Path.Combine(strZipPath, entry.FullName));
}
}
}
It is giving the error at ZipFile.OpenRead(strStartPath). Why am I able to access the exact folder in the first block of code but not the second? Or is there an easier way to search through a folder and only zip specific items?

You are utilizing the Zip libraries wrong
Effectively you are trying to open a directory as if it were a zip file, then loop over the contents of that directory (which again is actually a zip file) and then attempting to extract each member into a different zip file
Here is a working example of what you have described you are trying to do:
string strStartPath = #"PATH TO FILES TO PUT IN ZIP FILE";
string strZipPath = #"PATH TO ZIP FILE";
if (File.Exists(strZipPath))
File.Delete(strZipPath);
using (ZipArchive archive = ZipFile.Open(strZipPath, ZipArchiveMode.Create))
{
foreach (FileInfo file in new DirectoryInfo(strStartPath).GetFiles())
{
if (!(file.FullName.EndsWith(".TIF", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)))
{
archive.CreateEntryFromFile(Path.Combine(file.Directory.ToString(), file.Name), file.Name);
}
}
}
This will take all the root level contents of a folder and put it in the zip file. You will need to implement your own way of getting subfolders and their contents recursively, but that is beyond the scope of this question.
EDIT: Here is a working example with proper folder recursion to select all files even in subdirectories
public void ZipFolder()
{
string strStartPath = #"PATH TO FILES TO PUT IN ZIP FILE";
string strZipPath = #"PATH TO ZIP FILE";
if (File.Exists(strZipPath))
File.Delete(strZipPath);
using (ZipArchive archive = ZipFile.Open(strZipPath, ZipArchiveMode.Create))
{
foreach (FileInfo file in RecurseDirectory(strStartPath))
{
if (!(file.FullName.EndsWith(".TIF", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)))
{
var destination = Path.Combine(file.DirectoryName, file.Name).Substring(strStartPath.Length + 1);
archive.CreateEntryFromFile(Path.Combine(file.Directory.ToString(), file.Name), destination);
}
}
}
}
public IEnumerable<FileInfo> RecurseDirectory(string path, List<FileInfo> currentData = null)
{
if (currentData == null)
currentData = new List<FileInfo>();
var directory = new DirectoryInfo(path);
foreach (var file in directory.GetFiles())
currentData.Add(file);
foreach (var d in directory.GetDirectories())
RecurseDirectory(d.FullName, currentData);
return currentData;
}

How to copy images and videos file asynchronous in c# WPF add add to listbox item

How to copy images and videos file asynchronous in c# WPF?
I am already using this for copying txt files and its working, but if I use it for copying images or videos, the result does not open or crash.
Any Idea what could be wrong? This is my code
private async void btnUpdate_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
string x2 = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);
DirectoryInfo dinfo = new DirectoryInfo(x2);
FileInfo[] Files = dinfo.GetFiles("*.txt");
int jml = 0;
foreach (FileInfo file in Files)
{
string fileNoExtension = file.Name.Replace(".txt", "");
string fileName2 = x2 + #"\Data\" + file.Name;
using (StreamReader SourceReader = File.OpenText(#"Data\" + file.Name))
{
using (StreamWriter DestinationWriter = File.CreateText(x2 + #"\Data\" + file.Name))
{
await CopyFilesAsync(SourceReader, DestinationWriter);
}
}
lbxHasil.Items.Add(file.Name);
jml = jml + 1;
}
MessageBox.Show("Success add " + jml.ToString() + " New Songs!!!");
btnUpdate.IsEnabled = false;
lbxAwal.Items.Clear();
}

You need to use File.OpenRead and File.OpenWrite so it's treated as binary.
Or File.Create as JohnnyMopp said.
Alternatively if there's no additional processing File.Copy
It depends on what you need to do but your problems are related to treating it as text not binary.

How do I read the version number of an .exe inside a zip archive?

I have a zip file that contains an exe, and I want to get the version number of the exe file without having to extract it physically.
I know how to read the contents of a zip file, and have code that will read a text file in it, but I can't find out how to get the version of an exe.

Add reference to Shell32.dll -library. Then you'll likely find what you are looking for with this:
Shell shell = new Shell();
var folder = shell.NameSpace( <path_to_your_zip> );
// Just get the names of the properties
List<string> arrHeaders = new List<string>();
for (int i = 0; i < short.MaxValue; i++)
{
string header = folder.GetDetailsOf(null, i);
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(header))
break;
arrHeaders.Add(header);
}
// Loop all files inside the zip and output their properties to console
foreach (Shell32.FolderItem2 item in folder.Items())
{
for (int i = 0; i < arrHeaders.Count; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}\t{1}: {2}", i, arrHeaders[i], folder.GetDetailsOf(item, i));
}
}
EDIT: Seems that this is not possible without actually extracting the file from the package. Something like this is fairly simple, but will take time in case the file is large and/or efficiently compressed.
Shell s = new Shell();
var folder = s.NameSpace( <path_to_your_zip> );
foreach (FolderItem2 item in folder.Items())
{
string oItemName = Path.GetFileName(item.Path);
try
{
string oTargetFile = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), oItemName);
if (File.Exists(oTargetFile))
File.Delete(oTargetFile);
Folder target = s.NameSpace(Path.GetTempPath());
target.CopyHere(item, 4);
var info = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(oTargetFile);
if (File.Exists(oTargetFile))
File.Delete(oTargetFile);
Console.WriteLine(oItemName + "'s version is: " + info.FileVersion);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(oItemName + ": Unable to obtain version info.\n" + e.Message);
}
}

Download files from SFTP with SSH.NET library

string host = #"ftphost";
string username = "user";
string password = "********";
string localFileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(#"localfilename");
string remoteDirectory = "/export/";
using (var sftp = new SftpClient(host, username, password))
{
sftp.Connect();
var files = sftp.ListDirectory(remoteDirectory);
foreach (var file in files)
{
if (!file.Name.StartsWith("."))
{
string remoteFileName = file.Name;
if (file.LastWriteTime.Date == DateTime.Today)
Console.WriteLine(file.FullName);
File.OpenWrite(localFileName);
string sDir = #"localpath";
Stream file1 = File.OpenRead(remoteDirectory + file.Name);
sftp.DownloadFile(remoteDirectory, file1);
}
}
}
I am using SSH.NET (Renci.SshNet) library to work with an SFTP server. What I need to do is grab files from a specific folder on the SFTP server based on today's date. Then copy those files from the SFTP server to a local drive a server of mine.
Above is the code I have but it is not working. Sometimes it says file does not exist but sometimes the files I will be downloading will not be on my local servers but I need to download whatever files were uploaded to the remote folder for that day.
Can someone take a look and see what is wrong? I believe it has something to do with the stream portion. I have worked with FTP much besides uploading files which I took some previous code I had and thought I could reverse the process but that isn't working. The code I used is based off of this example.

A simple working code to download a file with SSH.NET library is:
using (Stream fileStream = File.Create(#"C:\target\local\path\file.zip"))
{
sftp.DownloadFile("/source/remote/path/file.zip", fileStream);
}
See also Downloading a directory using SSH.NET SFTP in C#.
To explain, why your code does not work:
The second parameter of SftpClient.DownloadFile is a stream to write a downloaded contents to.
You are passing in a read stream instead of a write stream. And moreover the path you are opening read stream with is a remote path, what cannot work with File class operating on local files only.
Just discard the File.OpenRead line and use a result of previous File.OpenWrite call instead (that you are not using at all now):
Stream file1 = File.OpenWrite(localFileName);
sftp.DownloadFile(file.FullName, file1);
Or even better, use File.Create to discard any previous contents that the local file may have.
I'm not sure if your localFileName is supposed to hold full path, or just file name. So you may need to add a path too, if necessary (combine localFileName with sDir?)

While the example works, its not the correct way to handle the streams...
You need to ensure the closing of the files/streams with the using clause..
Also, add try/catch to handle IO errors...
public void DownloadAll()
{
string host = #"sftp.domain.com";
string username = "myusername";
string password = "mypassword";
string remoteDirectory = "/RemotePath/";
string localDirectory = #"C:\LocalDriveFolder\Downloaded\";
using (var sftp = new SftpClient(host, username, password))
{
sftp.Connect();
var files = sftp.ListDirectory(remoteDirectory);
foreach (var file in files)
{
string remoteFileName = file.Name;
if ((!file.Name.StartsWith(".")) && ((file.LastWriteTime.Date == DateTime.Today))
using (Stream file1 = File.Create(localDirectory + remoteFileName))
{
sftp.DownloadFile(remoteDirectory + remoteFileName, file1);
}
}
}
}

My version of #Merak Marey's Code. I am checking if files exist already and different download directories for .txt and other files
static void DownloadAll()
{
string host = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
string username = "###";
string password = "123";string remoteDirectory = "/IN/";
string finalDir = "";
string localDirectory = #"C:\filesDN\";
string localDirectoryZip = #"C:\filesDN\ZIP\";
using (var sftp = new SftpClient(host, username, password))
{
Console.WriteLine("Connecting to " + host + " as " + username);
sftp.Connect();
Console.WriteLine("Connected!");
var files = sftp.ListDirectory(remoteDirectory);
foreach (var file in files)
{
string remoteFileName = file.Name;
if ((!file.Name.StartsWith(".")) && ((file.LastWriteTime.Date == DateTime.Today)))
{
if (!file.Name.Contains(".TXT"))
{
finalDir = localDirectoryZip;
}
else
{
finalDir = localDirectory;
}
if (File.Exists(finalDir + file.Name))
{
Console.WriteLine("File " + file.Name + " Exists");
}else{
Console.WriteLine("Downloading file: " + file.Name);
using (Stream file1 = File.OpenWrite(finalDir + remoteFileName))
{
sftp.DownloadFile(remoteDirectory + remoteFileName, file1);
}
}
}
}
Console.ReadLine();
}

Massimiliano's solution has one problem which will lead to files not being completely downloaded. The FileStream must be closed. This is especially a problem for encrypted files. They won't completely decrypt intermittently without closing the stream.
var files = sftp.ListDirectory(remoteVendorDirectory).Where(f => !f.IsDirectory);
foreach (var file in files)
{
var filename = $"{LocalDirectory}/{file.Name}";
if (!File.Exists(filename))
{
Console.WriteLine("Downloading " + file.FullName);
using (var localFile = File.OpenWrite(filename))
sftp.DownloadFile(file.FullName, localFile);
}
}

This solves the problem on my end.
var files = sftp.ListDirectory(remoteVendorDirectory).Where(f => !f.IsDirectory);
foreach (var file in files)
{
var filename = $"{LocalDirectory}/{file.Name}";
if (!File.Exists(filename))
{
Console.WriteLine("Downloading " + file.FullName);
using (var localFile = File.OpenWrite(filename))
sftp.DownloadFile(file.FullName, localFile);
}
}

Without you providing any specific error message, it's hard to give specific suggestions.
However, I was using the same example and was getting a permissions exception on File.OpenWrite - using the localFileName variable, because using Path.GetFile was pointing to a location that obviously would not have permissions for opening a file > C:\ProgramFiles\IIS(Express)\filename.doc
I found that using System.IO.Path.GetFileName is not correct, use System.IO.Path.GetFullPath instead, point to your file starting with "C:\..."
Also open your solution in FileExplorer and grant permissions to asp.net for the file or any folders holding the file. I was able to download my file at that point.
