Commands to copy a tar.gz file from a Remote Unix Server to Local Desktop.

you can use ssh. If you are running on a windows client, you can download a free copy of ssh called putty and pscp from PuTTY Download Page. putty is the login client and pscp is the file copy.
Then, you can type:
pscp user_id@remote_system
ath_to_file local_name
so for example, if I wanted to retrieve the /etc/profile from the remote system "gandalf" and my user id is joe1234, I can type:
pscp joe1234@gandalf:/etc/profile profile
you will be prompted for a password most likely unless the system is set up to use certificates.
putty is also a much better client than telnet both from a usability and security standpoint.
Hope this helps.

I am logged into a server via SSH.
There is a file on my desktop of my Windows PC I would like to put on that server.
How do I do it?
SCP looks the likely method but how does the server know where the file is on the local machine?

Is there a way I can copy a file from a server to a local folder (i.e. My Documents)? can it be done by scp?
I tried this but it just rename the file as the folder it has to be transferred at.
scp -r name@some_server:/home/user/file.txt 'somehere\home\home_dir'
