Supposed local folder as below:
/test/subfolder
/test/subfolder/file1.txt
/test/subfolder/page1.htm
/test/subfolder/page2.htm
/test/.hiddenfolder
/test/./hidenfolder/file2

How to exclude .hiddenfolder to be transfer when executing "scp -r test user@ip:/"?
-
How to include *.htm files only and transfer them to corresponding subfolder on remote server?
