Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers scp error when using wildcard Post 302881657 by wisecracker on Monday 30th of December 2013 06:46:17 PM

I am guessing here as I don't use scp and only use bash terminal but here goes:-
Code:
scp -p $proxy_user@$proxy_server:"$remote_dir"/* ${local_dir}

Note the quote has been shifted and /* left open...

If it does work I suspect it will transfer all subdirectories too except protected ones...

EDIT:
I have probably misread what you needed.
Just do a simple test:-
Code:
Last login: Mon Dec 30 23:56:50 on ttys000
AMIGA:barrywalker~> remote_dir="/Users/barrywalker/Empty"
AMIGA:barrywalker~> ls "$remote_dir"
AMIGA:barrywalker~> 
AMIGA:barrywalker~> ls "$remote_dir"/*
ls: /Users/barrywalker/Empty/*: No such file or directory
AMIGA:barrywalker~> ls "$remote_dir"'/*'
ls: /Users/barrywalker/Empty/*: No such file or directory
AMIGA:barrywalker~> ls "$remote_dir/*"
ls: /Users/barrywalker/Empty/*: No such file or directory
AMIGA:barrywalker~> _

The error will occur because the statment is true there is "No such file or directory"...
