If set to True the connector will append files to the archive specified by ArchiveFile. ArchiveFile must be set to the location of an archive on disk. If the file does not exist it will be automatically created. The default value is False.

Note: TempPath is not applicable when this is set to True.

This setting specifies the location of an archive file on disk. This is only applicable when Append is set to True.

This is used to specify different compression methods. By default the connector uses the Deflate compression method (a value of 0). Supported values are:

This property specifies files that should be excluded when compressing or extracting a file. When either compression or extraction occurs, each file will be compared to ExcludedFiles, and each file that matches will be excluded.

This property may be set to one or more file names. These file names may be specified with or without a path, and with or without wildcards. If a path is specified, files in the indicated extraction directory will be excluded. If no path is specified but wildcards are, matching files in all directories will be excluded. If a single file name without a path is specified, it must correspond exactly to the appropriate value of a valid file name.

Directories should end with a slash ("/" or "\", as appropriate.) If a directory is specified, all files and subdirectories in the specified directory will be excluded during extraction.

A pipe character ("|") should be used to separate multiple file or directory names.

If the property is set to the empty string, no files will be excluded.

A base path to decompress to. Setting this property to a nonempty string will cause all decompressed files to be written to the specified path. If pathnames are given in the values of decompressed names, they will be regarded as relative to ExtractToPath.

If the specified directory does not exist, it will be created when extraction is done.

ExtractToPath should always be specified in the format native to the host operating system, and with a trailing slash or backslash. If the path is specified otherwise, it will be immediately converted and stored in the converted format. For example, "/temp" would be immediately converted to "\temp\" on a Windows system.

When specified the connector will include the specified files on disk in the archive and the content of the Mule message will not be included.

The value should be a pipe ("|") -delimited sequence of one or more filenames. The filenames should be specified with paths if necessary, so that the files may be found on the local file system.

Filenames may include the wildcards '?', '*', and '< .. >'. '?' will match any single character, and '*' will match an arbitrary sequence of characters. '< .. >' may be used to match any of the characters inside, or a range, such as '<a-z>'.

If wildcards are specified, the file system will be scanned and all files matching the specified mask will be added to the list of files to compress.

If this setting is set to true, existing files will be overwritten when decompressing. When extracting, each file specified by the FileMask will be checked for existence. If a file exists, the files will be overwritten if OverwriteFiles is set to true.

By default the Password value will be encrypted with a machine specific key. This secures the password, however the pipeline must be compiled and deployed on the same machine so the same key can be used to decrypt the value. In certain cases you may wish to store the password value in plaintext so decryption is not required at runtime. This setting would be used to specify this like so:

PlainPassword=yourpassword

Specifies whether or not the modified time of the extracted files use the current time or the original time of the file in the archive.

When set to True (default) the extracted files will have the same modified time as the original file.

When set to False the modified time on the extracted files will be set to the current time.
