What type of logic are you currently using for this task or what did you have in mind to complete this task otherwise. – Vomit IT - Chunky Mess Style Aug 07 '16 at 01:52

Use sftp (or scp), not ssh to download files.
Withing sftp, use get -r /remote/path /local/path command.
If your question was how to initiate a transfer from an SSH terminal connected to a remote machine back to the local machine, you cannot. Of course unless you have an SSH server running on the local machine.

Let's say remote is [email protected] and I don't know what local is (a windows machine). How do I find out what local is? Thanks. By the way, I am doing this on local on Cygwin. – Frequency Aug 07 '16 at 13:04

Are you asking how to find a cygwin path for a given Windows path? Use `cygpath`. – Martin Prikryl Aug 07 '16 at 13:22
