Running a command on your local computer to upload files to your server is pretty easy on macOS or Linux where you can use scp:
scp -r /path/to/my/files root@:0.0.0.0:/path/on/my/server
or rsync
rsync -avz /path/to/my/files root@:0.0.0.0:/path/on/my/server
While there are versions of rsync and scp/sftp available for windows they are not installed by default and getting started with a GUI client like Filezilla might be an easier way to go.

Hi...the answer by ryanpq helped me but has typos. There should be no colon after root@. Here is the correct syntax.
rsync -avz /path/to/my/files root@0.0.0.0:/path/on/my/server
This tutorial helped me a lot! As I already had Putty installed I use pageant to insert my passphrase. I t was very very easy! There goes the link:

Hi,
You can copy file on your droplet using below command, if you are using any Linux distro.
1.Open terminal and run below command.
rsync -avz source/file/path example@yourdriopletpublicIP:/home/example
You can also use FileZilla to copy file from local system to server.
Hope it will help you..
