    I checked that using file (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_(command)) command executed inside ttyd workstation:

     

    file "/mnt/project/Bulk/Exome sequences/Population level exome OQFE variants, pVCF format - X/X.vcf.gz"

    /mnt/project/Bulk/Exome sequences/Population level exome OQFE variants, pVCF format - X/X.vcf.gz: Blocked GNU Zip Format (BGZF; gzip compatible), block length 10489
