Zip a folder
Right-click the folder in Finder and choose Compress — a .zip appears beside it. From Terminal, ditto makes the same Finder-compatible zip in one line.
Without Terminal
- Right-click the folder in Finder.
- Choose Compress "Folder Name".
- Send the .zip that appears beside it.
In one command
Make a zip exactly like Finder’s Compress does:
ditto -c -k --keepParent "My Folder" "My Folder.zip"
Need a password on it? That is a different command — see “Zip a folder with a password”.
Or just ask Titan

Titan isn’t on this computer yet. Get Titan, then press the button again — the task will be waiting, typed in.
