Assume there are some folders with these structures
/bench1/1cpu/p_0/image/ /bench1/1cpu/p_0/fl_1/ /bench1/1cpu/p_0/fl_1/ /bench1/1cpu/p_0/fl_1/ /bench1/1cpu/p_0/fl_1/ /bench1/1cpu/p_1/image/ /bench1/1cpu/p_1/fl_1/ /bench1/1cpu/p_1/fl_1/ /bench1/1cpu/p_1/fl_1/ /bench1/1cpu/p_1/fl_1/ /bench1/2cpu/p_0/image/ /bench1/2cpu/p_0/fl_1/ /bench1/2cpu/p_0/fl_1/ /bench1/2cpu/p_0/fl_1/ /bench1/2cpu/p_0/fl_1/ /bench1/2cpu/p_1/image/ /bench1/2cpu/p_1/fl_1/ /bench1/2cpu/p_1/fl_1/ /bench1/2cpu/p_1/fl_1/ /bench1/2cpu/p_1/fl_1/ .... What I want to do is to scp the following folders
/bench1/1cpu/p_0/image/ /bench1/1cpu/p_1/image/ /bench1/2cpu/p_0/image/ /bench1/2cpu/p_1/image/ As you can see I want to recursively use scp but excluding all folders that name "fl_X". It seems that scp has not such option.
UPDATE scp has not such feature. Instead I use the following command
rsync -av --exclude 'fl_*' user@server:/my/dir But it doesn't work. It only transfers the list of folders!! something like ls -R

Copying files and directories with SCP or Rsync Secure Copy (SCP) uses SSH to copy only the files or directories that you select. On first use, Rsync copies all files and directories and then it copies only the files and directories that you have changed. It does not copy all the files and directories again.
The Unix command scp (which stands for "secure copy protocol") is a simple tool for uploading or downloading files (or directories) to/from a remote machine.
To copy a directory (and all the files it contains), use scp with the -r option. This tells scp to recursively copy the source directory and its contents. You'll be prompted for your password on the source system ( deathstar.com ). The command won't work unless you enter the correct password.
To do so, create a text file with the name of the files and directories you want to exclude. Then, pass the name of the file to the --exlude-from option.
However, there is a great workaround to exclude files and copy it securely using ssh. This page explains how to filter or excludes files when using scp to copy a directory recursively. -a : Recurse into directories i.e. copy all files and subdirectories. Also, turn on archive mode and all other options (-rlptgoD)
scp -r.. 192.168.1.20:/mnt/backup Copy Recursively From Remote To The Local The scp command can be used to copy remote files and directories to the local system recursively. The -r option is used copy files and directories recursively.
January 19, 2021 by İsmail Baydan The scp is a command and tool used to copy files and directories between two systems over the network. The scp command is generally used for Linux and network systems but also supports Windows operating systems. One of the most useful features of the scp command is copying files and directories recursively.
The scp command can be used to copy remote files and directories to the local system recursively. The -r option is used copy files and directories recursively. The following syntax can be used copy recursively from remote to the local. scp -r REMOTE_PATH LOCAL_PATH . LOCAL_PATH is the local path or directory we want to copy to the remote.
Although scp supports recursive directory copying with the -r option, it does not support filtering of the files. There are several ways to accomplish your task, but I would probably rely on find, xargs, tar, and ssh instead of scp.
find . -type d -wholename '*bench*/image' \ | xargs tar cf - \ | ssh user@remote tar xf - -C /my/dir The rsync solution can be made to work, but you are missing some arguments. rsync also needs the r switch to recurse into subdirectories. Also, if you want the same security of scp, you need to do the transfer under ssh. Something like:
rsync -avr -e "ssh -l user" --exclude 'fl_*' ./bench* remote:/my/dir If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
