Copying Directories from one server to another

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to connect to another server and copy directories from one server to another

Directories on the Source server look like below (YYYY-MM-DD- 1 to 23)
Code:
drwxr-xr-x   2 test_user  dmfmart     422 Sep  1 23:45 2014-09-01-18
drwxr-xr-x   2 test_user  dmfmart     422 Sep  1 23:46 2014-09-01-19
drwxr-xr-x   2 test_user  dmfmart     422 Sep  1 23:47 2014-09-01-20

I have to connect to the destination server and create a directory in YYYY-MM-DD format and copy all directories from source server (YYYY-MM-DD- 1 to 23) to the destinaton server into the YYYY-MM-DD folder which was just created.

I have tried the below and see these errors:
Code:
put *
Couldn't read from "2014-09-01-18": Is a directory

get -r *
Invalid flag -r

lmkdir

Not throwing any error but not creating a new directory on the remote server as well.

Thanks in Advance!
