[linux] How to send a compressed archive that contains executables so that Google's attachment filter won't reject it

To bypass google's check, which is what you really want, simply remove the extensions from the file when you send it, and add them back after you download it. For example:

  • tar czvf file.tar.gz directory
  • mv file.tar.gz filetargz
  • [send filetargz via gmail]
  • [download filetargz]
  • [rename filetargz to file.tar.gz and open]
