Copying large files from Linux to Windows

General News

Summary

In my spare time, I was doing some OpenBMC Yocto builds on my Linux machines, and decided I wanted to copy these files over to my Windows PC. So, it occurred to me to copy the openbmc folder from my Linux desktop over to my Windows laptop, so I could study the build contents while I am on the road traveling. This sped up the copy process from my Linux partition to Dropbox, and the NTFS-formatted hard drive and USB stick tremendously. But all these above methods suffer from the same level of indirection, slowing the overall progress down: once the compressed file is uploaded, it still needs to be downloaded onto my Windows PC. As you can see, I did end up circling back and doing the direct copies of the compressed file (instead of the uncompressed folder) to the Windows hard drive and the USB stick, with some good results.
