Hello,

I could suggest a couple of things:

  • You could upload the files from your USB to your Droplet via SFTP for example:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/how-to/transfer-files/

  • Alternatively, you could use SSHFS to mount your server’s filesystem on your PC so you could access it just as a local filesystem:

Luckily there is a way to mount your VPS file system to your local computer so you can make changes on the fly and treat your droplet as local storage.
