You can:
1.) On the source machine create a list of files and stash it into a variable and issue one scp command:
Code:
l=""
while read i ; do 
  l="$l $i "
done < mylistOfLogs.lst

scp $l user1@remote.server

The above method won't work if you have too many files.

2.) A cleaner and more universal solution would be to just compress them all into a tarball, then scp one file -- the tarball itself and decompress on the other side. This can easily be done on the fly too.

3.) Another way would be to create one temporary directory on the source machine, and create symlinks to the respective files. Then you can use scp -r, which by default will follow symbolic links. However, using 1) and 3) you will end up with all the copies in one place.

It seems like it would be much easier to generate ssh key and you don't have to worry about how many scp commands you issue.

       --limit=N
	   Pull at most N messages.

       --reget
	   Start from the first available message.

EXAMPLES

       nntp-pull --server=news.example.org --limit=50 'comp.os.linux>os-linux' Fetches at most the 50 newest articles from the newsgroup
       comp.os.linux located on news.example.org server and appends them to the os-linux mailbox file.

       nntp-pull --server=news.example.net --reget --limit=3 comp.os.windows Fetches at most the 3 oldest articles from the newsgroup
