Move a folder from Workspace to DBFS

AChang — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 15:38:19 GMT

So, I didn't quite set up my model training output directory correctly, and it saved all my model files to the workspace in the git repo I was working in. I am trying to move these files to DBFS, but when I try using dbutils.fs.mv, I get this error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Repos/$EMAIL/$FOLDER/output/checkpoint-13956/*

I have tried it without the *, tried it with and without a foward slash at the end, and I always get the same error. For the destination I am using "dbfs:/$FOLDER". I am trying to avoid downloading each file individually, and when I try to export the whole folder none of the options really work for me since these are not workbook files. Also, some of the files are just too large to download, so I think I will have to use some kind of code option.

Figured it out, just had to use the !cp command, here is what I did, worked perfectly.

!cp -r /Workspace/Repos/$RESTOFPATH /dbfs/folder

and it put the entire folder i was trying to move, into that dbfs folder.
