It’s not possible to download files from local root directory. Try from some other local directory. Maybe it will work.

Are you logging in as the root user when downloading the files? If not, try that and it should work.
Enjoy! :)
Try to use the WinScp client. If you havent got enough permissions WinScp will give you a clear error.
