@jasonjpeters i want to download my .py file from ubuntu VPS to my local computer server,plz tell from where should i execute the command & what would be path to file?
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.
