i am trying to use terminal for ssh.

i'm in a directory on my website using terminal, but how do i download something?

cp mygif.gif /Users/MyUserName/Desktop

doesn't seem to work. nor does

curl mygif.gif /Users/MyUserName/Desktop

nor

wget mygif.gif /Users/MyUserName/Desktop


what's the correct command? and while we're at it, can i ask how to download to a new folder?

like cp mygif.gif /Users/MyUserName/Desktop & mkdir MyNewFolder

??
thanks for your help,
aya.
 
If you want to transfer files between a server and local directories you need to connect to it using the sftp command, not the ssh command and then use "get" to download the files.
