The scp task will not create remote directories. Also, there is no recursive
option. Yes, you can specify a fileset, but the directory structure will not
be preserved (as far as I know). If you are moving a bunch of files and want
to preserve the directory structure, the best thing to do is...
1. zip or tar.gz the files locally
2. scp the archive to the remote machine
3. sshexec to remote machine and unpack the archive
