Any way to avoid compression plugin?

Is there anything built into Xojo web that would allow me to bundle files for download. Currently Im zipping using a plugin and it works very well. However, my boss would like to get away from the plugins all together if possible. I would like to let our users backup their files in the cloud and download the folder with all the backup files in it. Is there any way I can do this?? I dont want to do it using multiple downloads because its a lot of files. I just want one folder with all the files in it. Thanks for any suggestions.

You might be able to leverage a Shell and a zip tool on your server. The specifics will depend on what your server software is and what tool you choose to zip with.

There are also multiple Xojo code zip solutions.
