[b]"Linux how to download a folder from command line – what's the easiest way?"[/b] or [b]"What’s the best command

For linux how to download a folder from command line, I’d recommend `rsync` over `scp` if you might need to resume later.

`scp` dies if the connection drops, but `rsync` can pick up where it left off. Just sayin’!

Also, `-P` in `scp` shows progress, which is nice.
