# Syncing Data from Local Computer to Training Node (Digital Version)

*Note: you will notice that this digital version is much simpler than when a physical car is involved.* 

*All of the following steps are done on your local computer.* 

**Syncing the Data:**

1. If you have a lot of data, it may be time-efficient to compress the data into a zip file before syncing it. 

<pre><code><strong>cd ~/mycar/data
</strong><strong>zip -r data.zip ~/mycar/data
</strong></code></pre>

*Note: \~/mycar/data is an example of where the di*

2. Then sync them from the pi to the Chameleon Node:

```
rsync -r ~/mycar/data/data.zip cc@<Chameleon_Node_Floating_IP_Address>:~/mycar/data
```

*Note: may need to add key before syncing*

```
ssh-add <file path/name of private key>
```

3. Wait for the rsync command to finish (could take a few minutes), then, on the Chameleon node, unzip the data:

```
unzip data.zip -d ~/mycar/data
```

*Note: if the files are not found, it could be due to a wrong saving location and this requires the individual to find their zip file by browsing with UNIX Commands.*
