I believe scp -r target destination syntax will recursively copy directory structure. I had thought about scp but can you use signed certificates in a pki infrastructure with it? If not then your idea about tunneling it over ssl maybe the way forward.

Thanks

Hi Francisco,

How do recursively copy files/folders/subfolders from source to
destination using SCP? Do you use a script? If so, can you please
share with us? Thanks
