title: copy small files in parallel from remote servers
body: <p>I have to copy lots of files (around 2000 file and each file size around 5MB) from remote servers on a local box so I usually run below command on my local box terminal to copy files:</p>
  
  <pre><code>scp goldy@machineA:/process/snap/20180418/* /data/files/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to copy those files in parallel from remote servers using gnu-parallel or anything else? I mean something like copy 5 files in parallel instead of doing everything one by one.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Note:</strong> below is my file names on remote servers.</p>
  
  <pre><code>abc_proc_1_log.data
  abc_proc_2_log.data
  abc_proc_3_log.data
  abc_proc_4_log.data
  ...
  abc_proc_2000_log.data
  </code></pre>
