It sounds like you are using a Windows laptop and are attempting to copy the files to a *nix server of some description.

Your best bet is to download pscp which comes as part of the PuTTY ssh client package (Google for "putty download").

Then you can just

pscp.exe path_to_source_files/* my_unix_username@unix_server:/path/to/destination

Make sure your UNIX user account has the appropriate permissions on the destination directory.
