I think you should use sftp to transfer the files from your university account to your laptop.
The thing is quite easy: first, working in your laptop's cygwin, go into the directory where yo want the files to get transfered.
Then, connect to your university using sftp program, sftp username@host and then enter your pasword. Once you are in, cd to the directory where your files are. You can now use the comand "get" to transfer the files to your laptop: get file1, get foo.txt, etc.
I hope this helps you (I've read your message quickly)
