[SFTP] transfer files from a server to a local device

To connect to a server using SFTP and transfer a file from the server to your local PC, follow these steps:

---

Step 1: Prepare the Required Information

1. Server details:
   • Username (e.g., root or daesoo)
   • Server IP address or hostname (e.g., 213.173.108.222)
   • Port (default is 22, but it may differ if configured differently on your server).
2. Authentication:
   • Password or an SSH private key file (e.g., ~/.ssh/id_ed25519).

---

Step 2: Using the Command Line

Most Linux and macOS systems come with SFTP pre-installed. On Windows, you can use tools like PowerShell or sftp in an SSH-compatible terminal.

Steps:

1. Open a terminal on your local machine.

2. Use the following command to connect to the server:

   sftp -i /path/to/private/key username@server_ip

   Example using your server details:

   sftp -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 daesoo@213.173.108.222

3. Once connected, navigate to the directory on the server where your file is located:

   cd /path/to/remote/directory

4. Use the get command to download the file to your local machine:

   get remote_filename local_filename

   Example:

   get data.txt ~/Downloads/data.txt

5. Exit the SFTP session:

   exit
