Hello,

There are several ways you can achieve this.

FTP - The most common mechanism or large file transfers.
- Setup the MS FTP Server or third party FTP server[^] on the remote machine
- Please refer to this[^] article on CP to learn about how a file can be transferred using C#
SFTP - Another variant and common to nix platforms, also referred as FTP Over SSH.
- Install an SSH Server[^] on remote machine
- Use this[^] library available on Codeplex to do the file transfers
HTTP - Another variant using HTTP Multipart file upload.
- Setup IIS web server on the remote machine
- Create a upload page[^] in ASP.NET to receive the file and store it.
- Please refer to this[^] article to learn how to post a file to remote server using C# and HTTP
