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?

In Remote Desktop , select a computer list in the sidebar of the main window, select one or more computers, then choose Manage > Copy Items. Add files or folders to the “Items to copy” list. Click Add to browse local volumes for items to copy, or drag files and folders to the list.
Launch “Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration” from the server. Under “Connections“, right-click the connection and select “Properties“. Select the “Client Settings” tab, and make sure the “Clipboard” box is unchecked. If you want to allow copying and pasting of files, make sure the Drive selection is unchecked.
RDP protocol is not designed for file transfer, and this is the primary reason why it is slow.
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
