Another effective and convenient way to transfer your files is via popular cloud services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive. Your files can be transferred to these cloud drives at ease. When you are on the remote server, go to the Internet to download your files. 

Alternatively, you can set up cloud drives, Dropbox for example, directly on the remote server. No need to download your files on the Internet as they are already synced to the remote server before.
