cd ftp://<whatever address> and then copying files remotely to whatever local location is my personal favorite. I just tried and it also works for sftp as well! Though it doesn't seem to read ~/.ssh/authorized_keys -so you have to enter your password each time. But typing something like cd sftp://<server>/<directory> is a great way to access my unsupported (no guest additions) virtual machines from WSL There's one snag with ctrl-o; it only works for Linux consoles and xterms. It doesn't appear to work with a BSD (or whatever) console -at least it always gives me errors.
