# Code drops without connectivity

P4 Server provides a pair of commands that enable you to move files and their associated change history between servers when there is no connectivity between the servers: `p4 zip` and `p4 unzip`.

The `p4 zip` takes the specified list of files and the changelists that submitted those files and writes them to the specified zip file. It lets you bundle up any depot path from a server into a zip file. You can zip one, many, or all the files.

You can also bundle by changelist number, capturing any number of changes through history.

You can then use the `p4 unzip` to unzip the content of the zip file into any P4 Server.
