Sometimes ago, I felt the necessity of being able to resume my download from another computer, specially if the file is quite big. In this case, it's time to use rsync. Since mostly I use ssh to access remote computer, so I combine rsync with ssh.
Here's how to do it:
$ rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh user@server:/serverpath/to/file /localpath/to/file
Now, what if you need to use non-standard ssh port? Let's say you need to connect to ssh via port 7890. The command will be like the following:
$ rsync --partial --progress --rsh='ssh -p7890' user@server:/serverpath/to/file /localpath/to/file
The neat thing is that there is also progress indicator shown.
