Hello!
How can I zip shape files separately in FME server? In my FME I use FeatureWriter to do this and it works great. But when I publish my workspace to FME server it does not work anymore. I have 2 separate shape file types (points and polylines) and I want them to be zipped separately (for example point.zip and line.zip). Afterwards I want to download these zip files from FME server.

Hi @katrin10,
I am pleased to share that an improvement has been added to FME to allow for nested zipping by the engine and this has fixed the issue with using the Data Download Service to write out zipped datasets.
This fix went into the 2020 beta b20146 which is now available to download from safe.com/beta
What does your logs say? Do you use UNC path?
I don't use UNC path. Log is as follows:
