Answer 1

 cd path/to/folder/foldername zip -r foldername.zip foldername * [use * if it has any sub directory] 

Try this code, it will solve your problem.

Answer 2

Go to the folder path using the cd command

 zip -r foldername.zip foldername 

Example: zip -r test-bkupname.zip test

Here test is the name of the folder.

Answer 3

It looks like this is a webroot directory.

Why not pin the directory above (httpdocs / html / whatever) and then move it to the website space and load from there?

i.e. enter the directory above the root of the website. For example, if your web root is / var / www / html / go to / var / www / and run the following commands:

 zip -r allwebfiles.zip html mv allwebfiles.zip /html/allwebfiles.zip 

Then in your web browser go to http://mydomain.com/allwebfiles.zip and just download this file.

When extracting, you just need to extract to / var / www / OR extract in webroot and move all the files to the same level.

Answer 4

If you are in the directory itself, then

 zip -r zipfilename.zip * 

Answer 5

 tar zcvf ../my_directory.tar.gz . 

will create the file my_directory.tar.gz.

 scp ../my_directory.tar.gz username@your-ip :/path/to/place/file 

will transfer the file to your computer.

Answer 6

Use the following ssh command to upload multiple files at a time

mget./*
