You can, however, run two scp's at the same time. You might even use the ampersand to run them at the same time from the same shell. Maybe something like scp server1:/home/abc/file1 server2:/home/ABC >logfile 2>&1 & scp server1:/home/xyz/file2 server2:/home/XYZ (the logfile is used to prevent double output on the shell). Hope this answers your question (and sorry for the delay). Rechosen Hello Siva,

My doubt is, can I transfer concurrently 2 files in 2 different locations on my local server onto 2 different locations on a remote machine using scp ? Is that possible, if so please let me know. I want to transfer files file1, file2 on server1 to different paths on server2. ex:- from server 1 --> /home/abc/file1, /home/xyz/file2 to server 2 --> /home/ABC , /home/XYZ Thank you for your time.

The "Is a Directory" error is misleading and has been reported as a bug on several occasions already (just search Google for the error). So scp -r somedir user@remotehost:/path/to/nonexistent/dir/ says that the nonexistent dir "Is a Directory". Hope this helps. With regards, Rechosen Hello Jay,

Had a question with recursive copy, -r option. It appears that you need to create the directory structure at your destination node before issuing an scp with -r option. I tried to copy without creating the nested directory structure (it is quite complex) in my destination node and it came up with an error, 'Is a Directory'. Can you clarify if this is an scp limitation or I am missing something. Thanks Good knowledge base. Had a question with recursive copy, -r option.
