Unless you live inside these environments, an easier option would be rclone[1]. I use it on a regular basis to sync large loads to Digital Ocean Spaces, including its bandwidth limiting schedule to avoid saturating the residential uplink at inconvenient times.

Can you share more about this please?

The biggest (related) issue I run into running rclone from home is hitting the request speed limit on Digital Ocean Spaces. I frequently get the "Slow down!" error when backing up a bunch of small (<1mb) files.
