Hey,

I'm looking for suggestions on how to efficiently transfer content to my Oracle Cloud VPS.

What I've Tried:

Telegram Bot: I set up a Telegram bot that saves files locally on the server.

Pros: Easy to use, quick access to files from Telegram.

Cons: Limited to what's available on Telegram, and uploading is slow and impractical.

aria2c: I attempted to use aria2c but couldn't get it to work properly. Is it possible that Oracle Cloud is blocking P2P communication like torrents?

What I Need:

A more convenient method to transfer content to my VPS. I haven't been able to get torrents to work, so any alternative solutions would be appreciated. Additionally, if you know of any direct download sites for content like movies and shows that don't use P2P, that would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: while there are plenty of ways to get stuff from my computer to the VPS (and I'll try some of them), I thought to get things directly to the VPS. it has fast and stable internet connection, unlike my laptop.

I’m no Oracle Cloud expert but I’m wondering how Telegram fits into transferring files.

Is there a reason you’re not using traditional tools like ssh or rsync? You could even use Samba or FTP if you really wanted to (not recommended).

Just trying to understand the problem.

my internet is just not all that stable or fast. so day I wanna get there (my server) a big file, downloading it and then using ssh to upload it sounds like big trouble. if my connection suddenly shuts, or my computer goes in sleep mode.

So I'm thinking of ways to download directly to my server, without needing to send the files from my laptop.

If you’re thinking specifically of torrents, then a seedbox or torrents are probably more your speed. I forgot which community I was in for a second.

As far as large files go, I feel you. I have a NAS at home that I share with friends but my residential internet upload speed is slow. What I’ve ended up doing is opening a Storj account and mirroring the NAS to it. Not sure if this is relevant (at all).

Maybe someone else can comment here, but there’s got to be some dead simple web interface you could host where you copy/paste a URL and it downloads it… maybe just wget or curl from the host instance?
