You can run scp while still logged in with ssh. scp will make a new
connection.

The /to/ is part of the example. From an actual running system I have a
file /user/bin/bzip2

where:

usr is a directory directly off the root /, forming the absolute path /usr

bin is a directory under /usr, forming the path /usr/bin

bzip2 is a program in the bin directory, with a fully formed path of
/usr/bin/bzip2


/path/to/save_filename is thus an example of how to form a full path to
the file you want. Substitute your own directories and filenames to get
the actual path.
