AWS EC2 Zip Creation

1. **SSH into Your EC2 Instance**: Open your terminal and connect to your EC2 instance using SSH:

ssh -i /path/to/your/key.pem ubuntu@ec2-16-170-254-93.eu-north-1.compute.amazonaws.com

2. **Navigate to the Desired Directory**: Use the `cd` command to navigate to the directory containing the files or folders you want to zip.

cd /path/to/directory

3. **Install Zip (if not already installed)**: If the `zip` command is not available, you may need to install it. For Ubuntu, you can do this by running:

sudo apt update
   sudo apt install zip

4. **Create the Zip File**: Use the `zip` command to create a zip file. For example, to zip all files and folders in the current directory:

zip -r my_archive.zip *

This command creates a zip file named `my_archive.zip` that contains all files and directories in the current directory.

5. **Verify the Zip File**: You can check that the zip file was created successfully by listing the files in the directory:

ls -l

After completing these steps, you should have a zip file created on your EC2 instance. You can then download it to your local machine using `scp` if needed.

zip -r my_folder.zip my_folder

This command creates a zip file named `my_folder.zip` that contains all files and subdirectories within `my_folder`.

5. **Verify the Zip File**: You can check that the zip file was created successfully by listing the files in the directory:

ls -l

After completing these steps, you should have a zip file containing the specified folder created on your EC2 instance.
