How do I get an entire directory in sftp?
Use the -r (recursive) flag:
get -r *
Use:
scp -r mpirocch@my-server:/home/mpirocch/Documents Documents
Use lftp:
lftp sftp://user@host
Then, within lftp, cd into the directory you want to copy,
and use the mirror command to recursively download the selected directory,
like this:
mirror
This command accepts options and arguments:
mirror [OPTIONS] [source [target]]
For example, the -R (or --reverse) option
will cause it to upload the local directory tree to the remote directory:
mirror -R
See the lftp(1) man page at the project’s site
or at Debian.org for other commands and options.
