Best way to send files to my VPS?

Posted on March 27, 2016

Hello, I’m an intermediate linux user, but a beginner in server management. I created a droplet, configured a SSH connection, apache and everything else. Now I need to put my local files (HTML, imagens and stuff) into the VPS I just configured. How should I do that? What’s the best way to do this safely? I’m using Ubuntu 14.04 on my VPS and Windows 10 on my local PC.
