title: How to download a file from my server using SSH (using PuTTY on Windows)
body: <p>When I try downloading a file from my server onto my computer, it actually downloads the file onto the server.</p>
  <p>(Note I am already SSH'd into my server before typing this command. I've watched tutorials on YouTube and people are using their terminal without SSHing into any particular server, however I don't think I can do this with PuTTY on Windows?)</p>
  <pre><code>scp -r -P2222 kwazy@mywebsite.example:/home2/kwazy/www/utrecht-connected.nl ~/Desktop/
  </code></pre>
  <p>The problem is that I am specifying the location to download the file as only <code>~/Desktop/</code></p>
  <p>This creates a folder called <code>Desktop</code> in my server, instead of copying the files onto my local desktop.</p>
  <hr />
  <p>I am able to use this command on Linux.</p>
  <p>I have successfully download the folder onto my desktop:</p>

  <p>I still need insight onto how I can do this on a Windows machine.</p>
