You can copy as many files as you want in one command as far as the destination folder is always the same: `scp /user/vickey/systems/system1/file1.csv /user/vickey/systems/system +1/file2.csv ... vickeys@localhost:C:/` [download] Or just... `scp /user/vickey/systems/system1/file*.csv vickeys@localhost:C:/` [download] Anyway, there are several modules that would allow you to do that from Perl: for SCP, you can use Net::OpenSSH or Net::SSH::Any (Net::SSH2 also supports SCP but it is buggy). Another option is to do the transfers using SFTP protocol that is much richer than SCP and allows more advanced operations, for that you can use Net::SFTP::Foreign. Then, you also have WinSCP that you can install in your Windows machine in order to transfer files from the Unix server using a friendly graphical interface.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hello vickey110 and welcome to the monastery and to the wonderful world of Perl! Well.. post are more welcome when they contain some Perl effort from part. If you show us what you tried monks can adjust their help based on your skill. Infact probably will be not so useful for you if i had answered something like: `perl -le "system qq(prog $_) for glob $ARGV[0]" .csv` no? If you want to create a perl program to process many files be sure to `use strict` and `use warnings` at the top of the program. After you can profit of the `glob` function to build up a list of all `.csv` files. Then you can build up a foreach loop to process them. L There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hello vickey110, Welcome to the Monastery. Although the fellow Monks have address your question already I just wanted to add something minor. Just for the record similar questions that have been asked at the Monastery (scp perl, Using SSH and SCP in a perl script with taint flag, etc...). To be honest for your task I would prefer to use Net::SFTP::Foreign, why? You can find more information here Net::SFTP::Foreign Vs. Net::SFTP Vs. Net::SSH2::SFTP. Hope this helps, BR. Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!	[reply] [d/l] [select]
