I can currently SSH in to my Droplet, but I am unable to scp any data to my Droplet. I end up with an “Operation timed out error” as well as lost connection.
I an unable to ping my droplet after I attempt to scp and receive 100% packet loss, but I can still ssh into it.
Any ideas on this sort of thing?

The problem is MTU related try setting your client’s network card mtu smaller for example
ifconfig enp10s0 mtu 1000 (linux)
Let’s try to run it from your console in droplet sudo ufw allow 22/tcp && service ufw restart and then use scp again
