Well I may be late here. But the below code do just the thing you want in single line:

find /path/to/a /path/to/b /path/to/c -type f -mmin -15 -print -exec scp {} 10.0.1.102:/path/to/copy/{} \; | tee -a ./output.txt

Hi,

(find /a/b/c -mmin -15 -print > output.txt
find: bad option -mmin)

I have root directory on server 1 say A and having sub directory B now my application generates output files and put in sub directory B.
now i need to transfer these files from server1 to server2 by scp which is having same directory structure A and sub directory B
I have tried a lot but seems need ur guidance.

Code:

STAMP=$(perl -e '($ss, $mm, $hh, $DD, $MM, $YY) = localtime(time() - 3600);
printf "%04d%02d%02d%02d%02d", $YY + 1900, $MM + 1, $DD, $hh, $mm')
touch $STAMP /A/B
find /A/B -type f ! -newer /A/B -print -exec scp -r {} server2:/A/B/{} \; | tee -a ./output.txt

or

find /your/file/path/to/a -type f -mtime 0 -print > output.txt
find /your/file/path/to/b -type  f -mtime 0 -print >> output.txt
find /your/file/path/to/c -type f -mtime 0 -print >> output.txt
awk '{print "scp "$0" user@hostname:/your/file/path/to/a /your/file/path/to/b /your/file/path/to/c"}' output.txt | sh
