I realized the issue was once you add the dot to the find command, it only does that directory and not the sub directories! Once I narrowed it down, the file showed up with the commands you suggested. Is there a way to get the subs too? *marked this as solved now

I'm back with another noob question that has become a struggle. I appreciate all the help guys, I'm sorry in advance so I'm looking to download a .txt file from my VPS to the local PC. (both local PC & VPS are Debian) I can't use wget or curl because those are for external websites right? So...
