scp -P 1122 /path/to/videos/*.wmv user@server:/path/to/server/videos/ should move all .wmv files from the local folder to the server.

You can't just mix and match options from other commands (-type f won't do anything in scp)

	LOL thank you very much that show me how to moved the ones in a main folder. do I need scp to find all .wmv in any folder so dont know if I can use find to have the script to look in the subfolders fro all files .wmv to have it moved I make the mistake of adding each video in a subfolder now I have over 2000 folders each with one or more videos need to take them all out and together in just one. – Danny Sanjurnny Jan 6 at 1:55
	@Danny Sanjurnny - try looking at rsync, too – warren Jan 6 at 15:08
	rsync is good. You could do something like `find . -name *.wmv -type f -exec scp {} user@server:/path/on/server/videos/ \;` or something similar to that. Not able to test it right now. – Rob Jan 9 at 14:58
