SCP multiple files
Hi ,

I am doing SCP for copying log files from different server(around 24 server)
I need to copy these bulk logfiles every 15 min.
How can i do multiple SCP at the same time?
My current code is like this

scp $CUSTCARE_USER@$CUSTCARE_SERVER:$CUSTCARE_HOME/$CUSTCARE_LOG.* $TRACKING_CC_FE_LOGLOC/

Can anyone suggest some alternatives ?

Thanks in advance

Just an example....
Code:
a=`pwd`
for in in `cat servers`;
do
mkdir some;
cd some && scp ...${i}.. &
cd ${pwd}
done

The easiest way is to put them in the same directory and use the -r flag to do the directory in one go. If that's an option in your current situation.
