How to Download Your Tree from FamilySearch.org

Can you download your family tree from FamilySearch.org?  Can you upload your FamilySearch tree to Ancestry.com?  Can you sync your family trees between Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org?  I get these questions a lot.  I also get questions about how to sync your family tree between Family Tree Maker software and FamilySearch.
