Surely a lapsus, it should be (replace user with your own login name): for i in * ; do chown -R user:user $i ; done
Anyway, maybe you can make a one-file from them before (tar, cpio, ...) so after you scp it and decompress it on the new server you will probably have the "right" owner (it's quite probably as sugested that the UID and GID will not correspond to the one on the new server and you'll have to change them or type the line before). Maybe someone knows how to do it directly with scp options. Good luck.
