SSH: Using wildcards with `scp` to copy remote files
Use quotes for the remote side of your command. Copying multiple files from remote to local: $ scp 'remote-host:path/source-file*' ./local-target source-file1.png 100% 10KB 180.1KB/s 00:00 source-file2.png 100% 17KB 282.7KB/s 00:00 source-file3.png 100% 12KB 274.4KB/s 00:00 With quotes, wildcards are expanded by the remote shell instead of your local shell which cannot see the remote files.
