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.

  1. cd to where you want the file saved

    $ cd Documents 
  2. Connect

    $ sftp sammy@your_server_ip_or_remote_hostname 
  3. Go the directory that contains the file to be transferred.

    $ cd NASA/secret_files/ 
  4. Transfer

    $ get UFO_blueprint.odt 

To get the complete directory, instead use

$ get -r secret_files/
