For bash command on linux. I was thinking perhaps svn import but not sure.

If your current directory is already a working copy of your repo just use
cd <name of your folder>
svn update
with a terminal where you changed into your directory before. You can see wheter the folder is a working dir by the presence of ".svn"-Folder in it. Type
ls -a
If you see the ".svn"-Folder, it should be a working copy.
Otherwhise the easiest way is to checkout the folder from the repository with
svn checkout svn://your-repo/your-path/
Make sure to do this in a new/seperate Folder in order not to overwrite existing data! This will checkout a new working copy of your repo-folder selected in the given path.
You can then update the folder or commit changes simply by the commands
svn update
or
svn commit
from within the directory to/from your repo.
Import means bringing new files into your repository. If I understand your question correctly, you want to do the opposite. If you want to have the latest version of a file on your local machine it's an update.
