My hostmonster webspace account got deactivated because they found many malicious code in my files. The affected files include hundreds of PHP/JS/CSS/ files littered around in scores of folders. It will be very time consuming to inspect all those files one by one and remove the malicious code. So I am thinking to download all the files while pertaining their path, and then hopefully on my local computer, I can remove malicious code by search and replace in NOTEPAD++. To do that, I think firstly I need to zip all the files using SSH.

I try to google the usage of zip command in SSH, but surprisingly almost all the results are very very simple, only explaining how to use zip -r to compress everything. What I need to do is to zip all PHP files, all CSS files, all JS files, etc. I also try zip -? in SSH shell, the usage is like

zip [-options] [-b path] [-t mmddyyyy] [-n suffixes] [zipfile list] [-xi list]


and in the option list, -i is include only the followin names, so I write this command

zip -i *.php PHP.zip


but it doesn't work. It returns

zip error: Invalid command arguments (nothing to select from)


I tried some other ways but none of them worked. So I have to ask it here. Any hints and directions is greatly appreciated.
