How to download a file by SFTP in Linux? Need help with the command! or What’s the easiest way to dow

"What’s the easiest way to download a file by SFTP on Linux?"

Hey folks!

I'm trying to linux download file by sftp, but I’m kinda stuck. I know the basics of SSH, but SFTP commands are tripping me up.

What’s the simplest command to grab a file from a remote server? Do I need to use `sftp` or `scp`? And how do I specify the path correctly?

Something like `sftp user@host:/path/to/file .` or am I way off?

Also, is there a way to do it without entering the password every time? (I’m lazy, lol.)

Any tips or examples would be awesome! Thanks in advance.
