    Do you want to copy it to your desktop and your using windows, just download winscp and put in the hostname, you username and password.

    If your moving the file directly from the server to another linux server just use the following command

    scp -p folderoffiletobecopy username@nameoftheotherserver:/destinationfolder


    Hope that helps
