source location : /ckr_mkr1/licencekey/1.txt
Destination location : /ckr_mkr5*/licencekey/1.txt (eg : ckr_mkr3, ckr_mkr4,ckr_mkr5.....ckr_mkr40)

Code:
find . -type f -name "1.txt" -exec cp "{}" -nR /ckr_mkrlive*/licencekey/

using the copy command
Code:
cp -nr /ckr_mkr*/licencekey/

The find command provides a list of files/directories according to some criteria. To use it you must do it the other way round, i.e. let it provide a list of directories to copy a fixed file to, like this:

Code:
find /start/dir -type d -name "<name-pattern>" -exec cp /a/fixed/file.txt {} \;

If you have a list of files you want to copy you can do that by enclosing the command in a loop:

Code:
for filetocopy in /some/where/* ; do
     find /start/dir -type d -name "<name-pattern>" -exec cp "$filetocopy" {} \;
done

I hope this helps.

       parallel-slurp - copy files from listed hosts

SYNOPSIS

       parallel-slurp [OPTIONS] -h hosts.txt -L destdir remote local

DESCRIPTION

       pssh provides a number of commands for executing against a group of computers, using SSH. It's most useful for operating on clusters of
       homogenously-configured hosts.

       parallel-slurp gathers specified files from hosts you listed.

OPTIONS

       -r --recursive
	   recusively copy directories (OPTIONAL)

       -L --localdir
	   output directory for remote file copies

       -h --hosts
	   hosts file (each line "host[:port] [user]")

       -l --user
	   username (OPTIONAL)

       -p --par
	   max number of parallel threads (OPTIONAL)

       -o --outdir
	   output directory for stdout files (OPTIONAL)

       -e --errdir
	   output directory for stderr files (OPTIONAL)

       -t --timeout
	   timeout (secs) (-1 = no timeout) per host (OPTIONAL)

       -O --options
	   SSH options (OPTIONAL)

       -v --verbose
	   turn on warning and diagnostic messages (OPTIONAL)

EXAMPLE

       An example to copy /home/irb2/foo.txt from each host. Files gathered will be stored in /tmp/outdir/hostname/foo.txt.

	   # prallel-slurp -h hosts.txt -L /tmp/outdir -l irb2 
		    /home/irb2/foo.txt foo.txt

ENVIRONMENT

       All four programs take similar sets of options. All of these options can be set using the following environment variables:

       o   PSSH_HOSTS
       o   PSSH_USER
       o   PSSH_PAR
       o   PSSH_OUTDIR
