There are also alternative tools available such as 7ZIP and PKZip. The extension of a compressed file is:\n<ul>\n<li>.zip<\/li>\n<li>.7z<\/li>\n<li>.tar.gz<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li> \n<\/p>\n<h5>Archiving files with UNIX<\/h5>\n<p>Many UNIX-based operating systems use GZIP. One feature of the GZIP protocol is that only one file can be packaged at a time. TAR allows you to archive multiple files into a single file. 2BA supports only files, even if it concerns a single file, that has been first archived with TAR and then packaged with GZIP. The following two are the extensions permitted: .tar.gz en .tar.gzip. A second restriction is that path names may not be included in the TAR archive.<\/p>\n<h5>Options<\/h5>\n<ol>\n<li><a title=\"Automated through SFTP\" href=\"http:\/\/2ba.wimwillems.nl\/en\/documentation\/file-exchange\/file-upload\/via-sftp\/\">Automated through SFTP<\/a> (datasets exceeding 2GB)<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Automated via DeliveryUpload API\" href=\"http:\/\/2ba.wimwillems.nl\/en\/documentation\/file-exchange\/file-upload\/via-deliveryupload-api\/\">Automated via DeliveryUpload API<\/a> (datasets up to 2GB)<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Manually through the MY 2BA environment\" href=\"http:\/\/2ba.wimwillems.nl\/en\/documentation\/file-exchange\/file-upload\/via-2ba-website\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">Manually through the MY 2BA environment<\/span><\/a> (datasets up to 2GB)<\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File upload Creating an archive file A dataset to be processed should always be delivered as a compressed file, also known as an archive or ZIP file.
