Get file from ubuntu server

I have an Ubuntu server running with DB backups. How to get the backups? I am using a *.pem file to login. I have been trying mail with mailx. I execute the command but without success. I get no error messages

echo "something" | mailx -s "subject" mymail@gmail.com

I am aware of that this is without attachments. How to get this working? With wget do I need a url?

Answer

I recommend using scp which runs over SSH and thus far more secure than wget. You need to have an SSH server running to do this.
