Windows declares a zip file as dangerous
Hi,
I've got a zip file, which has been created by Ant's Zip task:
<zip destfile="foo-dist.zip">
<fileset dir="${dist.dir}" includes="myapp/**/*"/>
</zip>
Now, when I transfer this file from my Windows 7 build host to the
test servers (Windows 7, or Windows 10) using basic Copy&Paste, and do
a right click on the file, I get a message
"Opening these files might be harmful."
AFAICT, this is the same message, that I would get for opening a file,
which has been downloaded via browser.
Question: Can I suppress this somehow?
Thanks,
Jochen

Thanks, Stefan, that sounds like a good hint. So far, I didn't bother to observe that, but I will do from now on.

It most likely is not related to how the archive has been created and
only related to how you have transferred the archive to the test servers
- and what Windows knows about that process.
When you transfer the file Windows (the Attachment Manager or something
named in a similar way IIRC) adds meta data to the archive marking it as
unsafe. Whether or not Windows does so depends on how much it trusts the
source of your archive. Anything that gets copied from the "trusted
zone" is usually fine, but it also depends on the installed policies.
You should be able to silence the warning individually by clicking
"unblock" in the archive's properties (reachable via the context menu in
windows explorer).
A broader solution is to add your build server to the trusted zone or
even add a policy that says something like "do not preserve the zone of
origin" - both will require windows admin rights on the test servers and
both actions should be weighed against security concerns, of course.

It's more a Windows related question than an Ant one.
This message occurs with nearly every zip.
Solution seems to be registering your IPs as "secure".
