How do I package a folder for deployment?

[Carter]

I need to push out a rather large folder with files in it to a lab and figured maybe a package deployment would work best. ARD would not push the folder out or a zip of it. Guessing the 9GB folder is too large as it keep stalling and canceling itself.

Anyways if I can create a package I can get Munki to install it for me but so far I'm not having any luck understanding how to use the package utilities I've found. They seem to be configured the way they need to but do not compile correctly.

 

Anyways the short of it is that I have one folder with a bunch of files in it that needs to be copied to the root of the hard Drive. What is the easiest way to create a package to do this?

 

Thank you

I use 7-Zip to create a self-extracting compressed file and then deploy it.
