Automate SCP copy files from multiple directories (in brackets) to appropraite directories - linux

Question

I have a bash script used for copy some files from different directories in remote host. All of them have the same parent. So i put them into list:
LIST=\{ADIR, BDIR, CDIR\}
and i use the scp command
sshpass -p $2 scp -o LogLevel=debug -r $1#192.168.121.1$/PATH/$LIST/*.txt /home/test/test
that command makes me able to copy all of .txt files from ADIR, BDIR, CDIR to my test directory. Is there any option which can put all of .txt files in appropriate directory like /home/test/test/ADIR or /home/test/test/BDIR ... ?

Answer 1

Have you considered using rsync?
You could try something along these lines:
# Rsync Options
# -a, --archive archive mode; equals -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X)
# -D same as --devices --specials
# -g, --group preserve group
# -l, --links copy symlinks as symlinks
# -o, --owner preserve owner (super-user only)
# -O, --omit-dir-times omit directories from --times
# -p, --perms preserve permissions
# -r, --recursive recurse into directories
# -t, --times preserve modification times
# -u, --update skip files that are newer on the receiver
# -v, --verbose increase verbosity
# -z, --compress compress file data during the transfer
for DIR in 'ADIR' 'BDIR' 'CDIR'
do
rsync -zavu --rsh="ssh -l {username}" 192.168.121.1:/$PATH/$DIR /home/test/test/
done

Answer 2

Finally my working code:
SOURCE='/usr/.../'
DEST='/home/test/test'
DIRS_EXCLUDED='test/ADIR test/BDIR'
EXTENSIONS_EXCLUDED='*.NTX *.EXE'
EXCLUDED_STRING=''
for DIR in $DIRS_EXCLUDED
do
EXCLUDED_STRING=$EXCLUDED_STRING'--exclude '"$DIR"' '
done
for EXTENSION in $EXTENSIONS_EXCLUDED
do
EXCLUDED_STRING=$EXCLUDED_STRING'--exclude '"$EXTENSION"' '
done
rsync -zavu $EXCLUDED_STRING --rsh="sshpass -p $2 ssh -l $1" 192.168.xxx.xxx:$SOURCE $DEST
