I always use rsync for purposes like this, using rsync for the above
command would be:
rsync -a -e ssh * 192.168.0.12:/mydir
Actually not sure about the "*", I always use the path to the directory
to copy and if I want the contents of the directory then end the path
with a "/". See man page for rsync for all the options to rsync.
