We're not trying to be obstinate. Your script is so incomplete and garbled there's really no fixing it at this point. If you've posted it as you actually have it -- crazy asterisks and all -- then it should be thrown out and rebuilt from scratch. If not, please post how you actually have it, for we are not psychic here.

Code:
The script should copy directories and files from my friend's computer.

Why not use scp? It connects via ssh, which you say you have, and does nearly exactly what you want.

Code:
# copy file/dir from local host to remote host
scp -r localsource username@host:/path/to/remotedestination
# copy file/dir from remote host to local host
scp -r username@host:/path/to/remotesource localdestination

So easy you might not need to build a script around it at all. It doesn't and can't prompt about overwriting files, unfortunately.

SSH-ARGV0(1)                                                BSD General Commands Manual                                               SSH-ARGV0(1)

NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command] hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command] DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally. OPTIONS
