you can use VSFTP or FTP, or simplest way by using SCP. This will directly copy file from localhost to server

pscp -r your/local/directory/ userID@hostserver:/your/destination/directory

This works fine for me. I copied entire directory with all sub-directories from my local windows machine to linux server.

Depends upon the size of the directory, the time increases.

Here is what worked for me on Windows:

file to copy:
C:/Desktop/file.txt

private key:
C:/Desktop/privatekey.ppk

destination on server:
root@droplet_IP:/opt/tomcat/somefolder

then you should run this command:

pscp -i C:/Desktop/privatekey.ppk C:/Desktop/file.txt root@IP:/opt/tomcat/somefolder
