scp multiple files with different names from source and destination

Question

I am trying to scp multiple files from source to destination.The scenario is the source file name is different from the destination file

Here is the SCP Command i am trying to do

scp /u07/retail/Bundle_de.properties rgbu_fc@<fc_host>:/u01/projects/MultiSolutionBundle_de.properties

Basically i do have more than 7 files which i am trying seperate scps to achieve it. So i want to club it to a single scp to transfer all the files

Few of the scp commands i am trying here -

$  scp /u07/retail/Bundle_de.properties rgbu_fc@<fc_host>:/u01/projects/MultiSolutionBundle_de.properties

$ scp /u07/retail/Bundle_as.properties rgbu_fc@<fc_host>:/u01/projects/MultiSolutionBundle_as.properties

$ scp /u07/retail/Bundle_pt.properties rgbu_fc@<fc_host>:/u01/projects/MultiSolutionBundle_pt.properties

$ scp /u07/retail/Bundle_op.properties rgbu_fc@<fc_host>:/u01/projects/MultiSolutionBundle_op.properties  

I am looking for a solution by which i can achieve the above 4 files in a single scp command.

Answer 1

Looks like a straightforward loop in any standard POSIX shell:

for i in de as pt op
do scp "/u07/retail/Bundle_$i.properties" "rgbu_fc@<fc_host>:/u01/projects/MultiSolutionBundle_$i.properties"
done

Alternatively, you could give the files new names locally (copy, link, or move), and then transfer them with a wildcard:

dir=$(mktemp -d)
for i in de as pt op
do cp "/u07/retail/Bundle_$i.properties" "$dir/MultiSolutionBundle_$i.properties"
done
scp "$dir"/* "rgbu_fc@<fc_host>:/u01/projects/"
rm -rf "$dir"
