I need to transfer several folders, sub-folders and files from a failing

create the folders "on the fly" as the files transfer.

What can I look at?

You can use rsync which will copy the whole tree,

rsync -r -t -l foo destination:/bar

Or you can tar everything up and then rsync the tar file over to the new
system.

tar -cvf foo.tar foo
