one method you can use is scp

scp username@droplet_ip:/path/to/file /path/to/destination

update the items in red to match your situation.

  You can execute this command from either the destination, source, or even a different machine.
  
  From destination:
  scp username@droplet_ip:/path/to/file /path/to/destination
  
  From source:
  scp /path/to/file username@destination_host:/path/to/destination
  
  From elsewhere:
  scp username@source_ip:/path/to/file username@destination:/path/to/destination

  As I do not know what OS you are using I cannot tell you what to do specifically.
  
  If you are using Linux you can use the noted commands above adjusting them to suit your setup.
  
  OR
  
  You can install a program like Cyberduck (Windows/Mac) and connect to your server via FTP/SFTP and download the file using this application.
