ZIP all files and then download

Question

at first I want to convert all the files which are inside one folder as .zip and then download this zipped folder using API and C#.

want to access these files from client side. Client Side I'm using AngularJS and want to download file from the server. I put different- different logic but not working.

You want to download it through a webpage? From an FTP server? Simply move a file on a local harddrive? What C# code have you already tried? All of this will help us help you better. :) — gravity, May 09 '16 at 13:43

Try this

 public string MergeFiles(string folder)
    {
        using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile(folder))
        {
            string[] fileEntries = Directory.GetFiles(folder);
            foreach (string f in fileEntries)
            {
                string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(f.Substring(folder.Length));
                    zip.AddFile(f, path);
            }
            zip.Save(folder + "\\files.zip");
        }
        return folder+"\\files.zip";
    }

I'm able to zip all the files but tell me the way I send these files to client side. Client is using AngularJS so, person can download these zipped files. – Manu May 10 '16 at 16:31
You can stream the zip file using Response.Content.Headers.Add("content-disposition", "attachment; filename= \"files.zip\""); context.HttpContext.Response.AddHeader("content-type", "application/zip"); – Ankur Shah May 11 '16 at 05:51
