Download Files From Remote to local via command line

To download Files From Remote to local via command line  normally we use scp.

To copy all from Local Location to Remote Location (Upload)

scp -r /path/from/destination username@hostname:/path/to/destination

Copy on current directory from Remote to Local

scp -r username@hostname:/path/from/file .

To download a single file the command will be:

scp user@your.server.example.com:/path/to/foo/file.name /home/user/Desktop/

To download a single file the command will be: 

scp -r user@your.server.example.com:/path/to/foo /home/user/Desktop/

Help:

1. -r Recursively copy all directories and files
2. Always use full location from /, Get full location by pwd
3. scp will replace all existing files
4. hostname will be hostname or IP address
5. if custom port is needed (besides port 22) use -P portnumber
6. . (dot) - it means current working directory, So download/copy from server and paste here only
