I am SSH into my computer at home from school, and I want to copy files to my home computer, but I can't find a command that also me to do that.

cp -r [directory] [new directory] will only copy from one point of the computer to another point of that same computer.

You want to be using scp, like this:

scp -r [directory] userid@homeip:[newdirectory]

Even better is to use rsync. See the manpages for both for more info.

These are all good. You can also do sftp
and then put and get commands.
