Any ideas on how to email a directory tree?

Options
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've created a draft directory/folder structure (tree) at home, which I'm trying to email to my office.

Outlook Express won't let me send folders as attachments, only files within them.
Winzip won't compress folders, just files. I suppose that I could add blank files to the folder at the end of each level, but I'd rather not have to go to that effort, if I can help it.

I've tried browsing for freeware utilities, but can't find anything.

Over to you guys.

:huh: :think:

    with winzip check the "Include subfolders" and "Store full path info" check boxes. Then when you extract it, it will create the folders as they were

    You might not want the "Store full path info" option. That will store the whole path to the file, right back to the disk. If you don't want the files in exactly the same place on your work PC this could be a pain.
