I'm using putty SSH into a server and need to download a directory onto my computer. I tried using filezilla, but it seems like the directory is hidden (I can't see it in filezilla). I can see the directory in putty, but it's in blue color. So my question:
How to download the directory? How to set where to save the downloaded directory? example: desktop
Thanks!

Scp Command The "scp" command is a secure version of the Unix copy command "cp." Once you establish an SSH session with the remote machine, locate the file you wish to copy. The "scp" command is a better option if you have only a few files to transfer. The "-p" flag preserved the file modification and access times.
you can scp - which will allow you to securely copy between hosts. Its located in /usr/bin on linux. SCP or secure copy command copies files and directories from one computer to another in batch. (For interactive user interface you can use SFTP as "user545035" stated.
Just input the IP, Host + Pwd, then can copy and paste from/to server/local pc.
Try using scp http://www.tecmint.com/scp-commands-examples/
scp -r username@source_host:path/to/source_folder ~/Desktop
If you are on windows only, winscp is a good solution http://winscp.net. Here is how to show hidden files in winscp http://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_pref_panels.
