I'm copying a website from remote server to another and I have

SOURCE SERVER /var/www/vhosts/namesiteA.com /FolderA /FolderB DESTINATION SERVER /var/www/vhosts/namesiteB.com

After running the following bash:

#!/bin/bash SOURCE="[email protected]:/var/www/vhosts/namesiteA.com/" DESTINATION="/var/www/vhosts/namesiteB.com/" sshpass -p "<source_server_pass>" scp -p -r "$SOURCE" "$DESTINATION"

works fine, but I expect:

DESTINATION SERVER /var/www/vhosts/namesiteB.com /FolderA /FolderB instead I get: /var/www/vhosts/namesiteB.com /namesiteA.com /FolderA /FolderB

With the new SFTP-based protocol for scp you need a trailing . on the source directory path:

SOURCE="[email protected]:/var/www/vhosts/namesiteA.com/."

Unfortunately if you're using a legacy version of scp that uses the old scp protocol, and it's new enough to be updated with a fix for CVE-2018-20685, the trailing dot will break the copy. See scp: error: unexpected filename
