Mac zip compress without __MACOSX folder?

Question

When I compress files with the built in zip compressor in Mac OSX, it results in an extra folder titled \"__MACOSX\" created in the extracted zip.

Can I adjust my se

Answer 1

do not zip any hidden file:

zip newzipname filename.any  -x "\.*"

with this question, it should be like:

zip newzipname filename.any  -x "\__MACOSX"

It must be said, though, zip command runs in terminal just compressing the file, it does not compress any others. So do this the result is the same:

zip newzipname filename.any
