I would like to copy files in an remote server from one directory (in the remote server) to another (also in the same remote server). I tried this:

scp -r [email protected]:/folder_a/*myfiles* ../folder_b 

This did no give any error message, but it did not work. I also tried this:

scp -r [email protected]:/folder_a/*myfiles* [email protected]:/folder_b 

which gave an error message:

Permission denied, please try again. Permission denied, please try again. Received disconnect from <server_id>: 2: Too many authentication failures for myacc lost connection
