I am trying to download files from a remote server onto local hard disk. I have logged into the server, and cd-ed to folder with files i wanna download, then tried using cp.. didn't work (only works for transferring files from server to another location on server), then tried scp, which was supposed to work:
file/on/server username@myipaddress:~Desktop/etc/
(also tried w/just my ip address and also timed out)
when i tried this it just stalled for a minute then timed out.. any suggestions?

Try it the other way. On your desktop machine:
scp username@remote_sever:/file/on/server ~Desktop/etc/
Your firewall is probably blocking inbound ssh connections.
