git pull from the cloned remote branch

Hi i have cloned a remote branch to a different server using 

sudo ~/gitkey.sh -i ~/.ssh/kan.pem git clone 
     ssh://[email protected]:22222/test_adapter -b remote_branch local_folder_server

now i have done some changes to the remote_branch code from my local machine and committed to the remote_branch .

now i want to get my changes on remote_branch to my local_folder_server .

I tried with 

sudo ~/gitkey.sh -i ~/.ssh/kan.pem git pull
     ssh://[email protected]:22222/test_adapter -b remote_branch local_folder_server

and it is not working.

I checked in the internet for some solutions .but does not understand, i am really new to git , please help me to pull my changes .

Thank you .

UPDATE

when i go inside my local_folder_server and typed git branch it will show me *remote_branch

The syntax of git pull is different from the git clone command. Normally you should be inside a repository directory (local_folder_server in your case) to make pull. Also you don't need to use -b before branch name. So execute the following command while you in the local_folder_server:

sudo ~/gitkey.sh -i ~/.ssh/kan.pem git pull
 ssh://[email protected]:22222/test_adapter remote_branch

Starting from git 1.8.5 you can tell git to go into some directory before executing a command, using the option -C <dir_name>. Will be like that:

sudo ~/gitkey.sh -i ~/.ssh/kan.pem git -C local_folder_server pull
 ssh://[email protected]:22222/test_adapter remote_branch
