Operating under the assumption that your remote machine is running Linux, I'd recommend either scp or rsync. Syntax below:

scp -r [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/on/remote/system/to/files /local/path/where/you/want/them

rsync -e ssh -avz [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/on/remote/system/to/files /local/path/where/you/want/them

If you're just transferring once, it doesn't really matter which one you use. If you're going to transfer repeatedly, use the rsync, since that will essentially only transmit the changes.

Sorry, but I can't really speak to any graphical utilities to use. I also don't really know anything about the servers in the CS dept., since I switched to an engineering major several years ago. I use the following syntax all the time from home:

rsync -e ssh -avz [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/class/* ~/class/

Good luck,
Lloyd Brown
