I have a directory

main_folder
  first_folder
    second_folder
      empty.txt
      another_folder
        another_empty.txt

I want to zip second_folder, and I'm in main_folder, so I zipped with the command

zip -jr first_folder/zip_file first_folder/second_folder

The zip file contains

empty.txt
another_empty.txt

But I want

empty.txt
another_folder
  another_empty.txt

How can I have that?
