Hello,
If you have any control panel like Plesk, Vesta or cPanel you can download the files via the File Managers. The other option will be to use a SFTP client like FileZilla or download the files via the terminal using
rsync
orscp

What kind of files are you talking about?
Do you have any sort of control panel?
It would also help if you tell us what kind of OS you are using?
