I’m trying to upload a large file into my droplet from Windows platform. I’ve tried sftp, but it’s simply too slow(20Kbps).

Hello @prognew, let’s see. You have a large file and have already tried sftp; well, there are more methods to exhaust.
To be honest, any method with resume should do. Here is a simple approach which may save the day:
- Install an HTTP server in your local Windows machine.
- Be certain the file you want to upload is accessible from the web.
- Log into your droplet and use wget to retrieve the file.
Be certain to issue proper command if the download failed. More information at:
