SFTP transfer a file from server to desktop

Question

I am trying to compete an assignment for school and I have one final step. I have use the "put" command to load the file. Then ran a spool and the file followed by ending the spool. Now I am back at the SFTP and I use the "get" command which I am thinking worked by this display that was outputted:

sftp> get spool01.1st
Fetching /class/cm320a/12/spool01.1st to spool01.1st
/class/cm320a/12/spool01.1st         100%  136  0.1KB/s  00:00

But now I need to attach the database that was created only I can't find the file on my computer to use. If I understand things correctly then the spooled filed was sent to /class/cm320a/12/spool01.1st – how would I go about getting it to my laptop so I can submit it for my class?

Thank you for any help.

EDIT

So if I use:

Get sftp> get spool01.1st to desktop/documents

Would that get the file back?

Answer 1

The output Fetching /class/cm320a/12/spool01.1st to spool01.1st means that the file was copied from /class/cm320a/12/spool01.1st on the server, to spool01.1st on your computer. Since the destination doesn't have any directory path, it is relative to the current directory – in other words, the file would be in the same directory that you ran sftp in.

Answer 2

To transfer files from server to desktop, try using one ofthe best FTP client - "FTP Manager pro". It supports SFTP as well as FTPS for secure transfers. I am using it to transfer files between PC, FTP servers and android mobile devices. Now I am able to securely transfer files from FTP server to my PC easily. Works well.
