Description
Reads an archived container.Please use Container.WriteArchive to create the archive. The zip file must have a special format to be read successful, so probably only archives created by Container.WriteArchive will work.
This works for any content of a container, except for referenced container files.
This function requires a native path. Use Path.FileMakerPathToNativePath to convert a FileMaker path to a native path if required. If you like to have the user choose the path, you can use FileDialog functions.
For Server be aware that server has limited permissions and may not be able to access all files on a computer.
