I am using nginx - Ubuntu, and I would like know how put local files into my remote server.

Example the directory of my local file:

C:\Users\Jonny\Desktop\Websitenw\Logo\image.png

Put in:

/usr/share/nginx/html/websitenw/images/

What is the command line in Putty?

You need another program, like Filezilla, to securely transfer files. See the tutorial on using Filezilla on DO.

You will need to download an additional file called pscp.exe

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.
