I am investigating which option is best for downloading large files (50gb*). Seems like chrome is not fault tolerant as if it encounters a network error, the download will flick to failed which then requires you to manually resume it. Of course that is a problem when your running the download overnight
Winscp seems to have an option to automatically reconnect if a disconnect occurs which seems to be a more fault tolerant approach
Any advice would be appreciated as to the best method
I mean if you have enabled ssh then Sftp will be working by default on Ubuntu. Might be easier to access it via samba since the windows file explorer supports it natively but you will need to configure samba
