To copy a remote directory recursively to the connected server use the following SCP command

scp -r user@host:/home/user/path/on/remote/server /var/www/path/on/connected/server

Here -r is to copy content of the remote folder recursively.

It will may ask you to couple of conformations like ECDSA key fingerprint and password, so type yes for ECDSA key fingerprint and password for the remote user.
