scp or sftp copy multiple files with single command
I'd like to copy files from/to remote server in different directories. For example, I want to run these 4 commands at once.
scp remote:A/1.txt local:A/1.txt
scp remote:A/2.txt local:A/2.txt
scp remote:B/1.txt local:B/1.txt
scp remote:C/1.txt local:C/1.txt
What is the easiest way to do that?
Answer
Copy multiple files from remote to local:
$ scp [email protected]:/some/remote/directory/\{a,b,c\} ./
Copy multiple files from local to remote:
$ scp foo.txt bar.txt [email protected]:~
$ scp {foo,bar}.txt [email protected]:~
$ scp *.txt [email protected]:~
Copy multiple files from remote to remote:
$ scp [email protected]:/some/remote/directory/foobar.txt \
[email protected]:/some/remote/directory/
