Download data from a jupyter server

Question

I\'m using ipython notebook by connecting to a server I don\'t know how to download a thing (data frame, .csv file,... for example) programatically to my local computer. Because

Answer 1

Run this in separate cell in one of the notebooks:

!tar cvfz zipname.tar.gz *

To cover more folders up the tree, write ../ before the * for every step up the directory.

tar cvfz zipname.tar.gz ../../*

The file zipname.tar.gz will be saved in the same folder as your notebook.

Also if files size is too large execute the following in same notebook block

!split -b 200m allfiles.tar.gz allfiles.tar.gz.part

Alternatively you can use this extension https://github.com/data-8/nbzip
