Not really enough details, but between the find command and the scp command, it should be pretty easy. First thing I'd do is use ssh-copy-id to make sure whatever user ID you have can log in without a password, using a key swap. After that, you can run a command via command-line with SSH to find files created in the last ten days, and copy them via SCP.
Pretty simple to script, just need a while loop to process the ssh file list.
You compose one or several scp commands that will do what you want. That's really basic stuff. If it doesn't work, show us what you got.
I don't get the "last 10 days" bit though.
I have tried with below command.
scp 'find /data1/client/apache-tomcat/icms_client/null/ -type f -name "*.txt" -mtime -10 -printf '%f\n'' user@10.2.3.2:/data1/client/apache-tomcat/icms_client/null
I have tried with below command.
scp 'find /data1/client/apache-tomcat/icms_client/null/ -type f -name "*.txt" -mtime -10 -printf '%f\n'' user@10.2.3.2:/data1/client/apache-tomcat/icms_client/null
but it's not working.
That command doesn't look right...have you read the man page on the find command?? And what do you mean by "not working"??? What does that command do and return?? http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/find.1.html
Not sure what you're doing with the printf or the \n in your command, since the find command will return the file name(s) by itself, and the options should come first.
Code:
scp `find -type f -iname *.txt -mtime -10 /data1/client/apache-tomcat/icms_client/null/` user@10.2.3.2:/data1/client/apache-tomcat/icms_client/null
