If I ssh from Cygwin into another machine that is on a different network, how do I conduct a recursive copy to my machine?

Use sftp (or scp), not ssh to download files.
Withing sftp, use get -r /remote/path /local/path command.
If your question was how to initiate a transfer from an SSH terminal connected to a remote machine back to the local machine, you cannot. Of course unless you have an SSH server running on the local machine.

Let's say remote is Username@Remotehost.com and I don't know what local is (a windows machine). How do I find out what local is? Thanks. By the way, I am doing this on local on Cygwin. – Frequency – 2016-08-07T13:04:04.783
Are you asking how to find a cygwin path for a given Windows path? Use cygpath. – Martin Prikryl – 2016-08-07T13:22:13.977
