title: Smart way to copy multiple files from different paths using scp
body: <p>I would like to know an easy way to use <code>scp</code> to copy files and folders that are present in different paths on my file system. The SSH destination server requests a password and I cannot put this in configuration files. I know that <code>scp</code> doesn't have a password parameter that I could supply from a script, so for now I must copy each file or directory one by one, writing my password every time.</p>
