Hi Jon,

Glad you enjoyed the show.

To look into this I did the usual thing of creating a directory 'scptest' and making files in it:

$ touch scptest/{a,b}{00..10}{a..z}.{dat,txt}

I could copy selected files TO a remote directory:

$ scp scptest/*(???y.txt|???y.dat) dave@rpi5:test/

However, on rpi5 I couldn't copy FROM the other machine.

I did find a solution, but it's quite long for a comment, and I'm not 100% sure I understand it. I tried it and it did copy the files I specified.

Ken would suggest a show on the subject, but perhaps if I pointed you to the link I found it might do the job :-)

See what you think.

Actually, I shunt files around a lot between systems, but I often tend to use 'rsync'. However,  that's a whole other subject.
