Copying multiple files with scp

You can copy all files in directory but problem is when you are trying to copy several files from huge directory. Below is the method I use to achieve needed:

1. save list of names of needed files with their paths into the test file (ex: scpList.txt) - full path is needed!
2. assign this list to the variable: scpList=$(echo \";for file in $(cat scpLoad.txt); do printf $file ; printf " "; done; echo \")
3. manually copy variable content: echo $scpList
4. mkdir ~/Desktop/scpFiles
5. scp root@srvIP:insertCopiedVariableContentHere ~/Desktop/scpFiles
