Uploading large files to Azure

$

I have a 160GB file I need to upload to my Azure VM. I compressed it with 7-Zip down to 30GB. I have a gigabit Internet connection from my office (Speedtest.net reports 900mbps+ speeds), which seems ideal. Speedtest reports my Azure VM has a download speed of at least 200mbps. My VM is located in West Europe, but I'm in Seattle, so there's about 140ms ping between me and the VM.

I tried Remote Desktop's drive sharing, but I got speeds no faster than 200kbps.

I then tried an SSH server on the VM but I only got about 400kbps speeds, I tried both SCP and SFTP (both through SSH) and neither gave me acceptable speeds.

I then tried IIS's FTP server, but I keep running into issues with Passive FTP and data channels.

What other options are there for getting large files onto Azure?
