I have a worker role that I use to pull data down from Blob Storage OnStart. Currently I'm testing this by uploading a test.txt file and then downloading it to a local directory. This is working fine.

I now would like to upload a folder to blob storage. This folder contains a batch script as well as several executables that the batch script calls.

What is the recommended way to accomplish this? I think zipping the folder and uploading the *.zip file would be easy... but then, once I download it locally for the worker role to handle, how would I unzip it without any third party libraries?

If there are better options, I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks for the help here - this community has been a huge help for me as I ramp up :)
