first of all, you can move files in putty using the command
mv filename /var/www/html/filename (or any other location you want)
you can rename files with the same command
mv oldfilname newfilename
for a list of handy commands go here
http://www.linuxhelp.net/newbies/#mv
secondly, downloading with this method you get a lot of broken files, so i do not recommend it
instead you can install an ftp server
this is what i did, although i think i installed the wrong version but its working fine
the server i installed is vsftpd
first download vsftpd
in putty type
wget
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/...0.5-8.i386.rpm
of course instead of typing all this just copy and right click anywhere in terminal it will be posted for you
then type in the following commands
mkdir -p /var/ftp/pub/9/updates/ (although i don't think this one is necessary but since i don't know what it does, let's leave it there)
now install it,this is supposing it is in the /tmp directory, but when you download something it is usually in /root directory, so either move it to tmp before running this command or change tmp with root
rpm -Uvh /tmp/vsftpd-2.0.5-8.i386.rpm
now edit your vsftpd.conf file
it can be found in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
login to your server using your FTP client (sFTP method in Buggyme post) and edit the file like this
uncomment (remove the # from the beginning of)
anonymous_enable=YES
save the file
now type the following command in putty
setenforce 0 (this disables selinux temporarily to enable it again use setenforce 1)
and to run your ftp server type
service vsftpd restart
now move any files you wanna download to /var/ftp/pub
you can browse your site from this address
ftp://vpsxxx.leeware.com/
and download the files using your download manager
