Best way to upload a folder?

What's the best way to upload a folder to a server? I tried using fastPut but that only works with single files. I need to upload a folder including its sub-directories and files.

There is no direct way to upload a folder.

I can think of two solution 1) Recursively walk through localfolder, and execute seperate command for creating file and folder 2) Zip the folder locally, send it via fastput, then execute the remote command for unzipping. Everything can be done via this tool

I decided to use rsync instead, there's also a node module for it that I used.
