Can you try explaining the problem in a different way?  It sounds like you are asking how to do something you just said you know how to do already.

ex:

 

%sysexec scp  D:\file1\profit.xlsx        F:/file2 ;

So you do not even copy across servers, but to a network share (there is no user@hostname: prefix in your scp command)?

Then you can use the venerable xcopy to copy a complete directory tree.
