I recently tried working with some zip files and, although I can see the files, I keep getting a zip error message saying 'nothing to do' when I try to process them. I have zip installed and there are no other error messages that I can see. Can anyone help me figure out what's going wrong?

It sounds like you might be using a wildcard when trying to zip files, which can cause issues. Instead of using something like `recup.dir*.zip`, make sure you specify the full destination name, like `recup.dir1234.zip`. If you're unzipping, try picking a specific file instead of using the wildcard. Consider checking out a GUI tool like Ark as well; it's often easier to work with for managing zip files. Good luck!
If you're having trouble transferring folders into a zip file, make sure your commands are clear and specific without wildcards. Additionally, if problems persist, double-check your permissions or consider using Google Drive directly for the transfers. Sometimes working with file managers helps!
Thanks for the tips! I'll double-check my commands and see if using a GUI tool makes it easier.
