Not sure how it works yet but a great little library to do file transfers where I don't want to use filezilla.
sudo yum install lrzsz
Once this is installed you can then download and upload files directly from the commandline.
To download a file from the server:
sz /path/to/file.txt
To send a file to the server:
rz
This will open a file upload dialog where you select the file to send.
