How can I copy a jpg to my local over an ssh
Essentially, I am taking part in a program that requires tasks to be completed. I have done the majority of the task and identified a file (jpg) that I must view in order to get a flag.
I am having difficulties in viewing this jpg, as this machine (a vm (Manjaro) provided by the program) does not allow me to run apt-get, and it does not have sshfs or other commands required for other solutions I have found online.
A password is required to ssh to the server, and sshpass is not installed, so I cannot just copy it over in one line.
Edit: I also cannot use a key for scp instead of a password, as due to the program's restrictions I do not have permission to create one.

Often, if a remote server allows interactive terminal access via SSH, it will also allow secure copy using anscpclient on your local OS to "pull" files from the server

You haven't really given a reason for using ssh. You're just trying to transfer a file, so perhaps just use something like nc? (a.k.a. netcat)

Sorry about that, should have specified that this task specifically requires the use of ssh. The task wasn't just to transfer a file, that was just the only relevant part (the part required to get the flag and finish).
