I have a VM I want to copy files to, a console app I want to run on the VM. How do I do this as the Remote Desktop won't let me copy files.

From my point of view the simplest and most reliable way is to use an Azure File Share.
- Create a new storage account.
- Create a File Share in the storage account.
- Navigate to the File Share.
- Click "Connect" and paste the commands to the PowerShell console on your client and on your Azure VM. Commands for Linux and MacOS are available as well.
- Transfer files to and from the File Share.
The process is more or less automatable. I wrote about it on my blog: https://engineerer.ch/2020/08/16/copy-large-files-to-an-azure-vm/
