Automate scp file transfer using a shell script

Question

I have some n number of files in a directory on my unix system. Is there a way to write a shellscript that will transfer all those files via scp to a specified remote system

Answer 1

This will work:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f

spawn scp -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no file1 file2 file3 user@host:/path/
expect "password:"
send "xyz123\r"
expect "*\r"
expect "\r"
