scp multiple files without pattern on Solaris
I need to transfer multiple files using scp between two solaris machines. I could not use pattern since they match with other files in the same directory.

I tried the below command, it does not copy any files.

Code:
$ scp -p user@machine1:/home/fid1/staging/\{a.ksh,b.ksh,c.ksh,d.ksh\} .

But this works.

Code:
$ scp -p user@machine1:/home/fid1/staging/a.ksh .

Could someone please explain?

Hi,
I think your solaris shell (sh) does not support syntax '{file1,file2,file3,...}'
Have you try with verbose option (-v) ?

Regards.

Can you copy another way around with list file

For instance :
Code:
cd <directory with files and list file> # or list file with absolute paths from anywhere.
scp $(cat list) user@remoteserver:/path/

Or create a regular expression which will match the files need from the first example [abcd].ksh
Also, you might want to use more modern shell such as ksh.

Hope that helps
Regards
Peasant.

I tried with (-v) option

Code:
19/01/2016 16:14:25:741 SftpAppLibSft/secsh_sft.c:3860/ssh_sft_get_conn_params: Connection id: #4, Destination: user@machine#22, Protocol version: secsh2, Cipher spec: aes128-cbc+hmac-sha1, Auth method: keyboard-interactive, Compression: none, Exclusive: yes
19/01/2016 16:14:26:696 SftpAppLibSft/secsh_sft.c:4179/ssh_sft_open_internal: Server SFT protocol version is 3.
19/01/2016 16:14:26:725 SftpAppLibSft/secsh_sft.c:3623/ssh_sft_server_type_probe: Server system type is POSIX.
19/01/2016 16:14:26:819 SftpAppLibSft/secsh_sft.c:3731/ssh_sft_server_streaming_probe_magic: Server supports EXTENDED streaming.
19/01/2016 16:14:27:081 SftpScpG3/scpg3.c:186/scp_exit: Exit code: 6

@Peasant: I could not do the other way since only functional ID(FID) has access to write to the folder, which I could not become from the remote server.

Another example -
On the local machine:
Code:
ssh -e none  user@remoteserver 'tar cf - a.ksh b.ksh c.ksh' | (  tar xf -)

Hi,
Can you try like this (without '\' ):
Code:
scp -p user@machine1:/home/fid1/staging/{a.ksh,b.ksh,c.ksh,d.ksh} .

Here, translation is doing by local machine...
Syntaxe not simplified:
Code:
scp -p user@machine1:/home/fid1/staging/a.ksh user@machine1:/home/fid1/staging/b.ksh user@machine1:/home/fid1/staging/c.ksh user@machine1:/home/fid1/staging/d.ksh .

Regards.

If you have /bin/bash on your remote machine, you have this trick:
Code:
scp -p user@machine1:\`/bin/bash\ -c\ "echo\ /home/fid1/staging/{a.ksh,b.ksh,c.ksh,d.ksh}"\` .

Regards.

Will this preserve time stamp?

First option did not work.
Second option works, as expected.
Third option did not work.
