How about making a tar archive first, it saves owner and permission info. You will have control for these during unarchiving.
This is the reason (don't know if there's another) why gzip doesn't have controls for permission because tar already has that functionality. And you should look at cpio, which is endorsed by the current unix spec. On Mon, 2008-03-17 at 15:17 +0800, F. Jerand wrote: > Thanks sir/madam. I already looked into that.
