A simpler method that works with via SSH controlled NVIDIA Jetson computers is to connect with SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol).
Suppose I wish to move the document UFO_blueprint.odt from NASA's remote servers and move it into my Documents.
cdto where you want the file saved
$ cd Documents - Connect
$ sftp sammy@your_server_ip_or_remote_hostname - Go the directory that contains the file to be transferred.
$ cd NASA/secret_files/ - Transfer
$ get UFO_blueprint.odt To get the complete directory, instead use
$ get -r secret_files/
