I am using Google cloud SDK shell to upload files at gcloud by using -> "gcloud app deploy" which is working fine so far with me, but issue it consume long time to deploy files.

So I want to know if there is any other quick away to upload the files. Something like FTP connection?

Do you want merely to move the file on the instance or to deploy the local code and/or configuration of your app to App Engine. Because this is what gcloud deploy does, this is why is "slow" - GalloCedrone
basically I want to move the file on the instance after making changes. Yes I also want my changes should reflect on the website. - Kamran Sohail

You can use SFTP in you browser to upload files to your instances.

1 - If you have not yet applied a public key to your GCP Console project or instance, obtain an SSH key pair and apply the public SSH key file to your project or instance.

2 - Open a terminal and add an entry in your ~/.ssh/config file that points to your private key. For this example, the private key file is ~/.ssh/my-ssh-key.

3 - Open your file browser and establish a connection to your instance. Paste the combined username and IP address into your file browser: sftp://[USERNAME]@[IP_ADDRESS]/home/[USERNAME]

There are many ways to transfer files. You can use google cloud sdk to do this from command line:

gcloud compute scp [LOCAL_FILE_PATH] [INSTANCE_NAME]:~/
