I have a list of files to copy from smb server to my centos7 hard drive from csv

missing.csv

Filepath
./2019_06_27_094411_Season_5/Locked_Approved/Master_JPG/501_00001.jpg
./2019_06_27_094411_Season_5/Locked_Approved/Master_JPG/501_00002.jpg
./2019_06_27_094411_Season_5/Locked_Approved/Master_JPG/501_00003.jpg
./2019_06_27_094411_Season_5/Locked_Approved/Master_JPG/501_00004.jpg
./2019_06_27_094411_Season_5/Locked_Approved/Master_JPG/501_00005.jpg
./2019_06_27_094411_Season_5/Locked_Approved/Master_JPG/501_00006.jpg
./2019_06_27_094411_Season_5/Locked_Approved/Master_JPG/501_00007.jpg

Now i need to copy the files from the csv list (i.e)filepath column and past it in my local drive with the same directory structure.

I have tried the following script and able to copy only the files, i need the file same as source directory structure. - I have installed and mounted the smbclient in my centos machine

script.sh

#!/bin/bash

while read path; do
  cp -v "$path" "$1"
done

CMD: ./script.sh /home/test1 < missing.csv

For simple cases (no spaces/special characters in file names, ...), possible to combine the '--parents' (sugested by cyrus above) with the full list of files. Potentially using xargs to support large number of files

cp --parents -t "$path" $(cat)
# Using xargs to allow larger number of files
xargs cp --parents -t "$path"

Even if missing.csv contains spaces, this does well.

script.sh

#!/bin/bash
dest="${1}"
while read l
do
    f="${dest}/${l}"
    d=$(dirname "${f}")
    mkdir -p "${d}"
    cp "${l}" "${f}"                                                            
done

$ cat missing.csv
