Multiple Files

I kept getting protocol error: filename does not match request when I tried the option with spaces. Only the option with {} worked for me but this is limited to bash on the end receiving it.

scp administrator@192.168.1.5:"{/home/administrator/src_file1,/home/administrator/src_file2}" .
