Body: <p>I've inherited an existing website created using CraftCMS and hosted on Fortrabbit.</p>
  
  <p>I'm fairly new to CraftCMS but anxious to get started on a couple of updates. The site currently exists on Fortrabbit. I have SSH and SFTP access and can see the files and have a fresh version of CraftCMS locally installed but unsure how to bring in the files. I'm aware it's built on the server so just not sure what parts I need to bring locally.</p>
  
  <p>I have already grabbed and imported the DB to the MySQL content but just need this last step.</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks.</p>
