Would a simple loop not suffice?

something like
Code:
for FILE in $(ls "sourcedir")
do
   scp localpath/$FILE.xml user@server:/path/$FILE/$FILE.xml
done

This is for ksh...

also something like that but only working xD

Code:
echo Enter your local directory
read localdir

for FILE in $(ls -1 | cut -d. -f1 "$localdir"); do scp $localdir/$FILE.xml user@server:/path/$FILE/$FILE.xml

if your source directory contains ONLY the .xml files, you can copy the entire directory over recursively:
Code:
echo Enter your local directory
read localdir

scp  -r "${localdir}" user@server:/remoteDirPath

@vgersh99 nope that didnt work cause i need the file name for the fully remoteDirpath
$(ls -1 | cut -d. -f1 "$localdir")

for FILE in $(ls -1 "$localdir" | cut -d. -f1 | grep -E '^[A*]'); do scp $localdir$FILE.xml $user@servername:$FILE/$FILE.xml; done

Ok next question xD

Code:
         
if check_file test.sh; then
         echo "File exists"
         else
         echo "
         #!/bin/bash

         SOURCEDIR=${manifest}
         if [ -z "$STY" ]; then exec screen -dm -S 'test Import' /bin/bash "$0"; fi
         for i in *; do id=$(echo ${i} | cut -d'_' -f1 | cut -c 2- ); extid=00${id}; /root/test_dir/other_test_file.pl -b ${SOURCEDIR} -m ${extid} -v 2>&1 | tee /root/test_dir/${extid}.log ; done " >> test.sh
         echo created test-Importer
         fi

i want to write this file
but i only want to fill this Varible on the script

Code:
SOURCEDIR=${manifest}

the other variables i want to fill later if i running the new created file on server
but if i use this all Variables been removed after creating file

and it looks like that
Code:
         #!/bin/bash

         SOURCEDIR=/mnt/f/test5/
         if [ -z  ]; then exec screen -dm -S 'test Import' /bin/bash ./menu.sh; fi
         for i in *; do id=; extid=00; /root/test_import/other_test_file.pl -b  -m  -v 2>&1 | tee /root/test_import/.log ; done

but i need it like that

Code:
 #!/bin/bash
         SOURCEDIR=/mnt/f/test5/
         if [ -z "$STY" ]; then exec screen -dm -S 'test Import' /bin/bash "$0"; fi
         for i in *; do id=$(echo ${i} | cut -d'_' -f1 | cut -c 2- ); extid=00${id}; /root/test_dir/other_test_file.pl -b ${SOURCEDIR} -m ${extid} -v 2>&1 | tee /root/test_dir/${extid}.log ; done " >> test.sh
         echo created test-Importer
         fi
