How to Copy Millions of Files from Remote Server to Local One












0















I have this problem, I have server (SSH enabled on port 4444) at 11.22.33.44, its Ubuntu server. Inside this server there's a directory called /folder/a/, this directory literally contains millions of small size text files.



What i want to do is to find several thousands of files from those millions of files and copy or transfer those files to my local pc, i.e. using find command. When using scp or cpio it won't work properly.



Do you have any suggestion how to do this from my local pc, i.e not from running ssh terminal on my remote server.
