I would like to scp multiple files to a remote server that requires a password for the process to be completed.
I have 30 folders (x_1, x_2 ... x_30), each containing 25 files. What I want to do is scp 1 out of the 25 files (file called bvals) for all my folders to a remote server and place each file to its respective folder (x_1, x_2 ... x_30 in the remote server).
I wrote this script:
The problem with this script (of course) is that every time n takes a new argument (x_1 etc) I am asked to insert my password.
Is there any way to write this script in a way such that I am prompted to write my password only once?
Thank you!

Hi,
I'm new to Linux. I would like to know how to scp a group of files. I have the below command, but it asks for remote password while sending each file. Is there a way to send all files (identified by - $ ls | grep '.*hrs0314a.*' | xargs -I {} grep -l '.*35663.*' {}) in one go?

Hi.
I'm trying to speed up an rsync command by running it in parallel. There's no real option for this other than if the files are in multiple directories (which they're not). And even then there's no way of knowing if rsync has succeeded as the process is running in the background .. and... (4 Replies)

SCP(1) BSD General Commands Manual SCP(1)NAME
scp -- secure copy (remote file copy program)
SYNOPSIS
scp [-12346BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file] [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program] [[user@]host1:]file1 ...
[[user@]host2:]file2
DESCRIPTION
scp copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh(1) for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same secu-
rity as ssh(1). Unlike rcp(1), scp will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for authentication.
File names may contain a user and host specification to indicate that the file is to be copied to/from that host. Local file names can be
made explicit using absolute or relative pathnames to avoid scp treating file names containing ':' as host specifiers. Copies between two
remote hosts are also permitted.
The options are as follows:
-1 Forces scp to use protocol 1.
-2 Forces scp to use protocol 2.
-3 Copies between two remote hosts are transferred through the local host. Without this option the data is copied directly between the
two remote hosts. Note that this option disables the progress meter.
-4 Forces scp to use IPv4 addresses only.
-6 Forces scp to use IPv6 addresses only.
-B Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or passphrases).
-C Compression enable. Passes the -C flag to ssh(1) to enable compression.
-c cipher
Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer. This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
-F ssh_config
Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh. This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
-i identity_file
Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for public key authentication is read. This option is directly passed to
ssh(1).
-l limit
Limits the used bandwidth, specified in Kbit/s.
-o ssh_option
Can be used to pass options to ssh in the format used in ssh_config(5). This is useful for specifying options for which there is no
separate scp command-line flag. For full details of the options listed below, and their possible values, see ssh_config(5).

-P port
Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. Note that this option is written with a capital 'P', because -p is already
reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file in rcp(1).
-p Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file.
-q Quiet mode: disables the progress meter as well as warning and diagnostic messages from ssh(1).
-r Recursively copy entire directories. Note that scp follows symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal.
-S program
Name of program to use for the encrypted connection. The program must understand ssh(1) options.
-v Verbose mode. Causes scp and ssh(1) to print debugging messages about their progress. This is helpful in debugging connection,
authentication, and configuration problems.
EXIT STATUS
The scp utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
