Transfer files saved in filestore to either the workspace or to a repo

Question

I built a machine learning model:

lr = LinearRegression()
lr.fit(X_train, y_train)

which I can save to the filestore by:

filename = "/dbfs/FileStore/lr_model.pkl"
with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
    pickle.dump(lr, f)

Ideally, I wanted to save the model directly to a workspace or a repo so I tried:

filename = "/Users/user/lr_model.pkl"
os.makedirs(os.path.dirname(filename), exist_ok=True)
with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
    pickle.dump(lr, f)

but it is not working because the file is not showing up in the workspace.

The only alternative I have now is to transfer the model from the filestore to the workspace or a repo, how do I go about that?
