Thank you for the reply frustrated.

Actually that might be correct for only one file command. What i am trying to do is that:-

I have bunch of files in one unix directory. The name of that unix server is ABC. /user/web/abc.com/props. This is the path to my unix directory. in the props folder i might have 30 files(html, txt, etc).

I have another unix server XYZ. What i am trying to do is transfer all the contents of props directory from ABC unix server to XYZ unix server in a zip file format.

Your code might work for one file but i have 30 files which i need to bundle into zip folder and then transfer it to my another server. Hope i am clear enough.
