The linux command would be scp.

For example syntax,

scp username@homeserver:/path/file.ext ./

This does a secure copy over ssh. It logs in to the remote machine with 'username' at your computer (homeserver) to get the file (file.ext in the /path directory) and copies it to where ever you are located now (./).
