script to copy file to remote server (Using scp)

I always want to copy files to my athena account, which is the server in our lab where i have an account.So i wrote this script , which helps me not to write a long line command always.

#!/bin/bash
#
#Author: IRFAN NASEEF

if [ $# -lt 1 ]
then 
  echo "Error:Specify atleast a file"
  exit 1 ;
fi

echo "Specify Destination folder"
read dest;

for file in $@
do
  if [ -f $file ]
  then
    echo "Copying file $file to $dest"
    scp $file b070147cs@192.168.40.99:$dest
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]
    then
      echo "Successfull"
    else
      echo "Error :copying" 
    fi
  else
    echo "Error: $file doesnot exist"
    exit 2 ;
  fi
done 

exit 0;
