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?

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:
- Download Putty package
- Open cmd
- cd to the Putty’s folder - inside that folder pscp.exe file should reside
- Suppose we have these folders:
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
you can use VSFTP or FTP, or simplest way by using SCP. This will directly copy file from localhost to server
