Download Compressed Folder from Jupyter Notebook in GCloud Deep Learning VM

Question

This seems to be a very simple question, but I couldn't find a way to do it. The jyputer notebook has the option to download file one by one. But my training process generates too many files, and I want to download them all at once. Is there any way to do it?

Assuming it is JupyterLab what you are using:

1. Open a new Launcher (+ icon) and start a new terminal session.
2. Use zip -r FILE_NAME.zip PATH/TO/OUTPUT/FOLDER/ to compress the required folder.
3. Download the zip file as you were doing with the other ones.
