title: What is the best/quickest method to upload a very large folder to my Server?
body: <p>I have a large directory which I need to upload to a new host's server, but because I have never transferred such a large directory (32GB), I am wondering whether there is something I'm missing.</p>
  
  <p>Now, I am assuming that the best way is to compress it into a zip file, upload to the server and then extract. But for some reason, my zip file is still about 32GB! </p>
  
  <p>I have already attempted to start uploading the files and it has literally been taking about 30 hours to simply upload about 3GB! Obviously this is too long, so I wondered whether there is a better method of doing this?</p>
