Transfer files from remote server to local machine

How can i directly transfer files from remote host to local machine if i have only access to remote server? I have tried scp and tail over ssh from local machine but I have to transfer data from remote machine using remote server.

You can try daggy.

Create sources config with files that you want to transfers and remote servers, from which you want to transfer (files.yaml):

    aliases:  
        - &my_commands
            file1:
                exec: cat file1
                extension: log
            file2:
                exec: cat file2
                extension: log
            
        - &ssh_auth
            user: {{env_USER}}
            passphrase: {{env_PASSWORD}}
                
    sources:
        localhost:
            type: local
            commands: *my_commands
        remotehost:
            host: 192.168.1.9
            type: ssh2
            parameters: *ssh_auth
            commands: *my_commands
        remotehost2:
            host: 192.168.1.10
            type: ssh2
            parameters: *ssh_auth
            commands: *my_commands

Run daggy:

    daggy files.yaml

You can use scp to transfer files from server to server, server to local machine and local machine to server. Use the following commands

scp [OPTION] [user@]SRC_HOST:]file1 [user@]DEST_HOST:]file2

For options check the manual here

Below is an example of downloading file from server to local machine

scp [email protected]:/var/www/html/foo.txt ~/Desktop/
