If you are using sftp

sftp -i ~/.ssh/keyfilename -P 22 user@hostname.com

if you are using your default key, and you are using the default port of
22, you can drop the
-i  and -P options

when connected

put  filename  (uploads file)
get filename  (downloads file)

cd  and ls (change directory or use ls on REMOTE machine)
lcd  lls (change working directory and ls on YOUR machine)
