Ssh find and scp

Hello All,

I have a requirement to copy few files from remote server to local, and below are the sequence
ssh to the remote host
finding the files with the specific condition
once found scp to the local server path

Code:
    for (( i=0; i<${tLen}; i++ ))
do

    ssh username@remotehost find /folder1/folder2/ -type f  -name "file_feed_*${merchantName[$i]}*_${dt}*.gz.out" | xargs  -i {}   scp '{}'  username@source:/folder1/folder2/

done

When executed the above code the files are not copied to the local path and showing the below error Please advise.
Code:
xargs: {}: No such file or directory

After few research found out scp should be written from remote to local so modified accordingly,but again got into an issue . This time getting the error
Code:
scp: .: not a regular file.

What would have went wrong.Please help.

Code:
for (( i=0; i<${tLen}; i++ ))
do
scp  username@remotehost:`find '/folder1/folder2/' -type f -name "file_feed_*${merchantName[$i]}*_${dt}*.gz.out"` /folder1/folder2/
done

First off I cannot test this. Plus ssh often requires the entire command be on the same line.

Anyway: try using -exec
Code:
ssh username@remotehost find /folder1/folder2/ -type f  -name "file_feed_*${merchantName[$i]}*_${dt}*.gz.out"  -exec scp username@remotehost:{} username@source:/folder1/folder2/
