I have a dataset EXX that is composed of two folders: Folder1 and Folder2

Folder 1 has 13 csv files of 450K each one  
Folder 2 has a folder and a file of 2K. that folder has 8 subfolders each one with a json file of 230 M each.

I would like to push this.

Is this supposed to last long? It is taking a long time  
and I also got this message

`Host is down` indicates that it is a problem with the server where you are pushing the data. Are you able to upload files to the server without DVC?

Well, yes I was able to upload files to the server. However I was at home WIFI and connecting to the server through a DNS.

Now at work connected directly to the LAN and with ethernet, I could do dvc push without problem
