I have a strange situation that I need to solve. In a server I have several files stored, which are named:

Area01 Area01.hst Area01.rst ... Area02 Area02.hst Area02.rst ... etc.

With some other files in there too. In order to retrieve those files, I would generally use

scp server:~/Area* location/in/my/computer.

The problem is, what if I only need to retrieve the files AreaXX (without extension)?

The only solution I can figure out is assigning an extension to those files and then retrieve them using

scp server:~/Area*.newextension location/in/my/computer

Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.
