Hi Team,

I used gzip files and sub directories as below command

gzip -v -9 -r -c folder_name/ > /path/folder_name.gz
Note: folder_name -> contains files and subdirectories.

How can i extract files and subdirectories from  folder_name.gz. While
extracting i will get one executable file. Can you please help us

Regards,
Sathish Narayanan

I'm afraid gzip isn't designed for that. Usually people combine tar and gzip to 
do that sort of thing.
