It seems like scp cannot be used on these machines. How exactly do I migrate a .tar.gz or some sort of folder with oodles of images, to/from Railway?

These are the listed size limits.
5000mb should not be the limit.
Regarding transferring the data, I would recommend making a pg_dump, and then using the credentials of the other database to transfer directly from the original. The command to do that is as follow.
pg_dump --dbname=whateveryourdbiscalled --file="dump.sql"
psql whateveryourdbiscalled < dump.sql
You'll need to put all your authentication for the remote database in this second command as well.

Even once you get it there, it says:
Failed to resize volume
Max size of 5000 MB on current plan. Please select a valid size or upgrade
But the next plan up says nothing about limits on volumes. It seems to be hidden.

I already transferred the DB, but this is more about static files. I have user uploaded media.
