scpHow to SCP multiple files?

You can use the scp command to securely copy multiple files from one host to another.

Example code

scp file1.txt file2.txt user@host:/path/to/destination

This command will copy both file1.txt and file2.txt to the /path/to/destination directory on the host user@host.

You can also use wildcards to copy multiple files at once. For example, the following command will copy all files with the .txt extension from the current directory to the /path/to/destination directory on the host user@host:

scp *.txt user@host:/path/to/destination

You can also use the -r flag to recursively copy entire directories. For example, the following command will copy the my_dir directory and all of its contents to the /path/to/destination directory on the host user@host:

scp -r my_dir user@host:/path/to/destination
