Find the remote file:

local:~$ ssh remote
remote:~$ find . -name 'file.tar.gz'
/home/cody/somewhere/deep/file.tar.gz

On local, scp:

local:~$ scp remote:/home/cody/somewhere/deep/file.tar.gz .

rsync

Similar approach as scp. Copy remote folder (or file) to local.

On local, recursive copy remote directory (absolute path) encrypted over ssh to new local directory:

local:~$ rsync -av -e ssh username@hostname:/home/todd ./new-folder-name
