I have a folder (C:\\Python27\\security_camera_snapshot\\) where image1.png 2.png 3.png .... 100.png is stored. I need to make them in one.zip file and upload it to a NAS server.

But how can i do the compression of all those files in zip?

  • With the [zipfile module](https://docs.python.org/2/library/zipfile.html)? – Aran-Fey Jul 24 '16 at 09:11

Just use the zipfile library as in this example adapted for your usage : 

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import zipfile

def zipdir(path, ziph):
    # ziph is zipfile handle
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
        for file in files:
            ziph.write(os.path.join(root, file))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    zipf = zipfile.ZipFile('One.zip', 'w', zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
    zipdir('C:\\Python27\\security_camera_snapshot\\', zipf)
    zipf.close()
