The easiest way to linux download file by sftp is using the `sftp` command like this:

`sftp user@host:/path/to/file /local/directory`

If you wanna avoid typing the password every time, set up SSH keys. Just run `ssh-keygen` and copy the pub key to the server with `ssh-copy-id user@host`.

For a dumbed-down guide, check out DigitalOcean’s tutorial—super beginner-friendly!
