There appear to be missing concluding brackets in the output of man

NAME
scp - secure copy (remote file copy program)
SYNOPSIS
scp [-1246BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
...
[[user@]host1:]file1 ... [[user@]host2:]file2
==================
The missing right brackets make me wonder how to transmit
bunches of files without having to specify the password(s)
multiple times.
Huh? The brackets are in matched pairs AFAICT.
Is globbing possible? If so, could someone provide an example? So
far none of my experiments attempting to transfer multiple files in
a single scp command have worked.
It might help if you showed a little of what you tried. Globbing when
the files are on the localhost is easy:
$ scp *.diff remote:/tmp
Going in the other direction requires you to quote the glob characters
to prevent them from being expanded by your local shell:
$ scp remote:'/tmp/*.diff' .
scp -r user@host:~/.emacs* .
This copied over all my emacs related stuff from the remote machine to
my present working directory without any hicups. The directory
structures were also preserved, and I didn't need to escape the '*'.
