title: Download a file from remote server in UNIX
body: <p>I have a file on a remote server that I can connect to via ssh. I would like to copy the file from the remote server at the path: '/home/example.txt' to my computer's desktop. </p>
  
  <p>Should I be using <strong>wget</strong>, <strong>sftp</strong>, <strong>ftp</strong>, or simply <strong>rm</strong>?  </p>
  
  <p>Bonus points if you know a good resource for UNIX documentation, since google's results were not great.</p>
