Amrit,
Instead of ssh use scp (secure copy). Like this
scp <login_name>@<domain_name>:<path_to_file> <local_file>
Like ssh it will prompt you for the password. If I wanted to copy the index.php file from my web site I would type this command
scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:www/htdocs/index.php index.php
My login name is shefen, the domain is shefen.com, the path to file when I ssh to the machine is www/htdocs/index.php, and index.php is the name I want to give the file locally.
You can also use wildcards
scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:www/htdocs/*.php .
This will copy all files named with .php extension to the current local directory (notice the . at the end, after php)
This one will copy everything and go into subdirectories and copy all those files too
scp -r [EMAIL PROTECTED]:www/htdocs/* .

Hi Sheila.
Thank you very much. Following your steps I was able to login. Can you please tell me now how I can download files from there?

How do I first SSH to my server and then from my server to their server? Another thing, are there some good online tutorials for handling such things?
I assume you have a dynamic IP address from your ISP. So they want you to SSH from a machine with a static IP address.
You are on Windows, using Putty for SSH access. Use that to to SSH to a machine with a static IP address. (Do you have web hosting on a Unix machine that allows SSH access?) Once logged in to the Unix machine you'll have a command prompt and just need to issue this command
ssh -l <login_name> <domain_name>
If the connection is accepted, you'll be prompted for the password.
