    Dear Experts,

    I have a seedbox with Linux Debian running rTorrent in it. I would like to create a RAR file from a Folder which has more files. Someone please help me with the Linux Command Line (Command), also i would also want to create the RAR files in it's own archive. Just like an option we have in PC WinRAR "Put each file to separate archive"

    Thanks in advance.

    to install rar / unrar:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install unrar rar

    Code:
    rar a folder_name.rar  /folder_name/*


    something like this with rar:

    Code:
    for file in *;  do  rar a  ${file%/.*}.rar  ./$file;  done;

    or RUN PC WinRAR Full directly



    Code:
    wget rarlab.com/rar/WinRARLinux.tar.gz
    tar -xzf WinRARLinux.tar.gz
    cd WinRARLinux*
    sh WinRAR.sh
    ;)

    Thanks for the links but the WinRAR is not opening it simply returns to the command prompt. Would appreciate the steps with example.

    Thanks

    I have tried the above steps but still i couldn't get it to work. Also, I have clearly told you that i need a installation steps because I am not linux expert. Also i don't have wine installed in the server i tried to install Wine but I am getting the following error

    wine : Depends: wine-bin (>= 1.4.1-4) but it is not going to be installed or
    wine64-bin (>= 1.4.1-4) but it is not installable
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).



    Thanks
