You don't. You use SCP or Rsync for that.

Meaning of 'its not working' ?

AFAIR, being insane is usually a pre-requisite for becoming a
sysadmin. In the few cases where it's not pre-requisite, it's
certainly going to be a bonus. --SIggi the Underpaid

I get this ->
zip A.zip A/*
adding: A/B/ (stored 0%)
adding: A/B.zip (stored 0%)
adding: A/C/ (stored 0%)
adding: A/r.txt (deflated 97%)
adding: A/S/ (stored 0%)
adding: A/D/ (stored 0%)
adding: A/s1/ (stored 0%)
adding: A/s2 (stored 0%)
Files are not stored

Do you have permissions to create files in there? It seems that is doing
what he is supposed to be doing.

Here's your cable. We made it fifty feet long, just in case. In case
what, in case tectonic movement makes the serial ports farther apart?

It is better to wear chains than to believe you are free, and weight
yourself down with invisible chains.

Try using 'mc' (Midnight Commander).

If you described WHAT is not working (did you get an error message, is there
no file afterwards, did your machine catch fire, ...)
And it's allways a good idea to say HOW you tried to create that ZIP.
