How can I copy a jpg to my local over an ssh
Essentially, I am taking part in a program that requires tasks to be completed. I have done the majority of the task and identified a file (jpg) that I must view in order to get a flag.
I am having difficulties in viewing this jpg, as this machine (a vm (Manjaro) provided by the program) does not allow me to run apt-get, and it does not have sshfs or other commands required for other solutions I have found online.
A password is required to ssh to the server, and sshpass is not installed, so I cannot just copy it over in one line.
Edit: I also cannot use a key for scp instead of a password, as due to the program's restrictions I do not have permission to create one.

You haven't really given a reason for using ssh. You're just trying to transfer a file, so perhaps just use something like nc? (a.k.a. netcat)

Sorry about that, should have specified that this task specifically requires the use of ssh. The task wasn't just to transfer a file, that was just the only relevant part (the part required to get the flag and finish).

In that case, scp or sftp are the standard ways to transfer files via ssh. Though from a cilent you could just do ssh 'cat /path/to/yourjpg' > yourjpg

The ssh 'cat /path/to/yourjpg' > yourjpg worked just fine, can't believe I didn't figure it out
