   Well, you gave very little information regarding your setup, but if you   
   areusing a linux/unix webhost (which, if you're using putty to connect to it,   
   isat least somewhat more likely than it being a windows host), you could   
   alwaysuse your normal web browser, copy links to files you want downloaded,   
   and thenuse the program "wget" on your webhost (via a putty ssh connection) to   
   instructyour server to download the files.  You should also be able to script   
   thisprocess, if, say, you want to download a whole bunch of different files,   
   usinga text file list of the links to said files.  And I'm sure my overview   
   doesn'ttell you exactly how to do it, but the manual page on that matter   
   should do thejob ("man wget" should bring that up on your webhost...if it   
   doesn't, it's notinstalled, and not knowing your architecture/OS, I can't be   
   of much helpthere...though the manual page should also be findable with a web   
   search).   
      
   Anyway, hope that gets you somewhere. Good luck.
