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:
or rsync
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.
Thank you both for your answers. I ended up transferring the file through FTP.
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:
