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?
