I have a 4 GB text file, compressed to 1.4 GB zip file. I need to copy it over to a Windows secure server using RDP. I am able to copy small files but not this file. It takes 15 mins and then shows an error. Any tips?

You can try to copy it by using Drive Redirection. Here's a tutorial.

BTW, RDP cannot copy files larger than 2GB by using clipboard as said in Microsoft support
