    Not sure if I understand your question correct, but to download with putty (on a Debian system) all you need to do is use wget

    Lets say you want to download a file into your /temp dir from http://www.someplace.com/filename.zip

    1) login with putty
    2) cd into the /temp dir
    Code:
    cd /temp
    3) wget the file
    Code:
    wget http://www.someplace.com/filename.zip
    Thats all..
