nohup scp * myhp01 /aaa/ &

If you have setup keys on both the machines then i think

"nohup scp * myhp01:/aaa/ &"

will do the copying.

adding a -r option would be useful if you have directories also.

"nohup scp -r * myhp01:/aaa/ &"


dun know why I missed it(-r) in my earlier reply, no points for this please :-).
