A command to download a file other than Wget

My host allows limited access to SSH and Linux commands. However, I can't use Wget believe it or not.

I was hoping for something to download a file (.flv) from another server. Is there another command I can try?

If there isn't, I could probably make use of Python, Perl or PHP (favourite) to achieve a file download. Is it possible?

linux command-line ssh wget

Use scp.

usage: scp [-1246BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
[-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
[[user@]host1:]file1 ... [[user@]host2:]file2
