ok replying really late but I hope this will help anyone still looking for this. Here is how I download stuff from nitrous, no desktop utility download needed, and no ssh/scp or adding keys. What you do is, simply make a archive for the folder you want to download by 

tar -zcvf myarchive.tar.gz mydir/

now you got a *.gz file right? Whichever folder your gz file is in, be there and type:

python3.3 -m http.server 8080

you just started a cute little http server ready to serve you your download, now from the Preview menu click "Port 8080", this opens a new browser tab showing your gz file in the file listing (sample url http://yourboxes.apse1.nitrousbox.com:8080/). Now you can click your gz file and it will start downloading. Once done with the download, press Ctrl+C on the terminal to terminate the http server.

This is not limited to nitrous, you can make this work on many online VMs like cloud9 etc.

You can download and upload projects by any of the following options:

  1. Utilize Nitrous Desktop to Sync your files locally.

  2. Upload your project to Github, and pull the project from there. Here is a guide on adding the SSH key to Github if needed.

  3. Upload the content via SCP. To do this, you will need to add an SSH Key to your account.

Next, run this command on your local machine, replacing {PORT} with the port # assigned to your Nitrous.IO box, and also changing usw1 with the proper region found in the SSH URI of your boxes page.

To Upload:

scp -P{PORT} -r path/to/yourFolder [email protected]:~/workspace

To Download:

scp -P{PORT} -r [email protected]:~/workspace path/to/yourLocalFolder

The easiest way is to store your project in a Git repository and then push this repository to an external host. You will then be able to clone your project from the external repository to any machine you want.

Personally, I use Bitbucket (Bitbucket as it is free and very easy to set up. Have a look at the tutorials there.

I do not know the service, but apparently they offer ssh access. Then you can use scp to copy the files to your machine. Anyway, probably you should ask their support...

...post a summary of their answer here and close the question :)
