How to exclude folder name when zipping over ssh?

Question

SSH

In the folder XXX files

• yyy1.txt
  
• yyy2.txt
  

I pack the XXX folder into an archive using the SSH command
zip -r xxx.zip XXX/
. At the same time, the folder name XXX also gets into the archive, so the file names in the archive look like

• XXX/yyy1.txt
  
• XXX/yyy2.txt
  

Is there a way to pack by excluding the name XXX ? To have files in the archive

• yyy1.txt
  
• yyy2.txt
  

Answer 1

zip -r xxx.zip XXX/*

Answer 2

cd /XXX/ ; zip -r /XXX/out2.zip * ; cd .

Answer 3

zip -rj xxx.zip XXX/*
-j removes all folders from the archive
