    You can use the s3cmd command line tool to do just that. Ensure you have s3cmd installed:

    sudo apt-get install s3cmd

    Then, from the command line, you can do lots of things (including downloading a file).

    Run this to configure the tool for your S3 credentials:

    s3cmd --configure

    Then you simply run:

    s3cmd get s3://<bucket name>/<file name> <local file name>

    ...to retrieve your file to the location of your choice.

    Reference of all commands is here:
