Copy from remote computer to local computer SSH (Ubuntu Server 10.04)

scp filename user@ip_address:/location will copy a file from my local computer to a remote computer... However I need to copy a file from the remote computer back to the local computer.

Is there any way to specify to pull a certain file down from a remote computer via ssh?

ssh scp ubuntu-10.04

    It's just the oposite way, like any copy/move command.

    scp user@ip_address:/location/to/file /location
