I have ssh root access at a server and I need to download, then upload a file to it.
I use putty on my local machine, connect and can do anything. But I don't know how to download the file :). I know that a way would be to set a ftp account but I don't want to do that just for a file.

You can use SSH to send and receive files. This is referred to as SFTP. You just need to download an SFTP client, and you would then use the same connection credentials you use for SSH. A good one is WinSCP.
