Software installation on V-Server?
I hope I express myself clearly.
If, as a company/freelancer, I use a server instead of a physical Windows server, which is located as an IaSS in a cloud farm, such as TERRA from Wortmann…
…how do I install software that I have physically on CD/DVD or USB stick at my desk?
Let's assume that I have a physical workstation/notebook that is connected to the above-mentioned server via the Internet and that I am the person who has admin rights on the physical computer and the virtual part.
Thank you for your answers.

Good morning, dear,
As long as there is no copy protection, you can easily integrate and install the software as an ISO. A copy protection makes it more difficult.
Personally, I always travel with virtual servers, as I simply don’t want to motivate my private, limited Internet line with a server. In addition, servers with a little more power at providers are also simply cheaper.
To distinguish that you need not only use vServer, but also root servers. Root servers are also virtual servers with many providers (e.g. Netcup), with the difference that they have to assign the booked resources and they do not have to share them with other vServers (noted; in the actual sense, root servers are independent servers, but so they are often sold).
You also have a little more the opportunity to determine the current mix. Netcup, for example, uses only hydropower to operate the servers. Of course, it is also possible in theory, but money is usually not saved.
Best regards
So at Hetzner you can upload your .iso file and generate a virtual boot medium from it…
But you can also go to install your server directly there.
After running the Windows server, I would install by RDP Teamviewer and then install an FTP server.
There I would push my .iso files directly so that I can install via remote control…
Thank you, it’s a good hint.
Driving was the last thing I had in mind.
At the heart of the question is whether one is not better served with such a V-part than with a physical server (operating costs, acquisition costs, etc.) but that I had also failed.
If you don’t have the Internet, you can join the company.
If the provider is mad or broke, it will turn off your servers, then everything will be gone.
Don’t host it outside of Germany, it’s just trouble. Generally, I’m not a friend of a cloud solution. Neither as a server, as a store, as an office or as a cloud firewall, WLAN network administration or “cloudhome systems, cloud systems for security cameras, alarm systems, fire alarm systems. Also not for SmartHome system or solar systems. I don’t like if strangers can play or watch my systems and read them.
Since the GDPR exists, I would remain in the EU anyway. But of course, theoretically, there’s a lot.
But will not happen because the Chinese are dependent on money. 😉
Within the EU yes. That’s why I wrote that he should always stay in Germany. However, if the Chinese are mad, they can switch off all Chinese inverters for PV systems, for example. They are “standardized” at the Chinese cloud.
A provider cannot simply switch off the servers without notice. There is an early notification of migration to another provider.
