scp -r user@remote.server:/path/to/directory/at/remote/server local_destination_dir

will do the trick. scp will follows symlinks encountered in the tree traversal.

If it's a big directory and changes with any frequency then you might want to look at rsync which will only copy the changed files. If it's small then stick with Pawel's scp -r. – davey Apr 28 '11 at 7:13
