Download from command line

Hi, I need download some files to xserver. I have only ssh access at this moment. How do I download files to the server from command line, like I would wget under linux?
For example if I don't have some tools in linux I can use yum or similar to install missing tools, how do I do this via mac bash, if it possible at all? I googled on the net but can't find anything useful.
Thanks.

You can use MacPorts to get a lot of the tools available for Unix and Linux. But there is also curl, which comes with the OS, although I am not really a fan of it.

In addition to MacPorts, you can dig around here:

OS X commands

Also link from there to command line Unix which may or may not be helpful.

Regards.

Interestingly enough curl isn't listed there. But it definitely shows up when I type it into the terminal.

I found another build-in utility called lwp-download. Will try curl as well. It is there by default.
Thanks.
