copying a list of files from one machine to another with the same path

Hello All,

I would like to download a list of files from a remote server to my local machine preserving the path i.e, create a similar directory tree.

ex:
files on the remote machine with path

Code:
/remoteserver/005_S_0221/mpr/m1/I72128/dat/06A515T.dat
/remoteserver/005_S_0221/mpr/m2/I102054/dat/515T.dat
/remoteserver/006_S_0547/mpr/m1/I75279/dat/6A515T.dat
/remoteserver/006_S_0547/mpr/m2/I78722/dat/A515T.dat
/remoteserver/007_S_1339/mpr/m1/I56319/dat/5T.dat
/remoteserver/007_S_1339/mpr/m2/I104363/dat/1515T.dat
/remoteserver/010_S_0786/mpr/m1/I65597/dat/15T.dat

after downloading the path on the local machine should look like this
Code:
/localmachine/005_S_0221/mpr/m1/I72128/dat/06A515T.dat
/localmachine/005_S_0221/mpr/m2/I102054/dat/515T.dat
/localmachine/006_S_0547/mpr/m1/I75279/dat/6A515T.dat
/localmachine/006_S_0547/mpr/m2/I78722/dat/A515T.dat
/localmachine/007_S_1339/mpr/m1/I56319/dat/5T.dat
/localmachine/007_S_1339/mpr/m2/I104363/dat/1515T.dat
/localmachine/010_S_0786/mpr/m1/I65597/dat/15T.dat

On the remote server there are many other files in the directory that i do not want so could not use rsync or scp -r

Thanks in advance
