recognizing * character
i have a short script that takes a filename and secure copies the file to a remote machine. i'd like to be able to take a * character and secure copy all the files in the directory.
first of all, how would i compare $1 to see if it's a * character?
if [ $1 = '*' ] or [ $1 = '\*' ] didn't do it.
second question is how would i tell the shell script to do 'scp * user@<ip>:/'? or do i have to do it one by one in a loop?

NAME
rfcp - Remote file copy
SYNOPSIS
rfcp [ -s size ] [ -v2 ] filename1 filename2
rfcp [ -s size ] [ -v2 ] filename directory
On Windows only:
rfcp [ -a ] [ -b ] [ -s size ] [ -v2 ] @command_file
DESCRIPTION
The remote file I/O copy program provides an interface to the shift remote file I/O daemon (rfiod) for transferring files between remote
and/or local hosts. Each filename or directory argument is either a remote file name of the form:
hostname:path
or a local file name (not containing the :/ character combination). The standard input is supported with the - character. Then directory in
output is not supported.
OPTIONS
-a tells rfcp that the source file is ASCII text (Windows/NT only)
-b tells rfcp that the source is a binary file (Windows/NT only)
-s size
If specified, only size bytes will be copied
-v2 If specified, forces the RFIO V.2 protocol. Otherwise, V.3 (streaming mode) is used.
RETURN CODES
0 Ok.
1 Bad parameter.
2 System error.
3 Unknown error.
16 Device or resource busy.
28 No space left on device.
