Tryint to use FTP command in SSH Terminal to get File

[lighthouseweb]

Ok this is a simple question

How do I use my SSH Terminal to get a file that is sittng on another server that I have.. As its like 500 megs or so but to download it to my computer then upload it it takes a long time..

So this is what i have done so far

1. Loged in to SSH Terminal
2. Went to my DIR that i want to put the FILE to
3. Typed in FTP
4. I"M LOST now as i'm trying to connect using my user on my ftp site (DIFFERN"T SERVER)
5. Need help
6. Really need help

Thanks - I relly need the key commands SHH Terminal for dummies
