how to use ssh to download file?

[Daniel]

First, I am a pretty much a newbie when it comes to ssh and downloading
files (if that is possible).

Here's the situation: I am using SecureCRT with SSH to login to the
system. That works fine. Now, I have several files I want to download to
my computer. What are the commands to do that and do I need to tell
SecureCRT anything, or is it automatic? My OS is Windows 98. The system
I am login into is Linux.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think SecureCRT included scp (secure ftp protocol)...but it does
support Z-modem file transfer...Correct me if I am wrong but Z-modem files
transfer should be secure enough since it's transfering data via the terminal
that you have connected with ssh. If your system is linux you have sz/rz
included, just type sz file.name at the system prompt and look in S-CRT down
load dir for the file. If your system is not linuz, u might need to install
the sz/rz protocol.

If I wanted to do secure ftp, what would the linux/unix command be for
uploading and downloading files?

Thanks in advance.
