Copy files from your pc to the server
The normal way to scp, where you copy files from your computer to the server
1 | scp -r A user@server:B |
eg:
1 | scp -r /path/on/your/computer/ user@server:/path/to/server/destination |
-r means recursive (so all files and sub folders)
Wildcards
You can use wildcards to match with a file extension

That will copy all php files only.
