Multiple deployments

Question

I have a requirement to deploy multiple artifacts in the deployment projects. currently i have 4 environments to deploy dev/qa/uat/prod. so my requirement is i have like 10 artifacts which i download using artifact download task, then i use scp task to send them to the hosts. I need a option to send the artifacts on choice i.e

scenario 1:

will send 3 artifacts

scenario 2:

will send 10

scenario 3:

will send 1

So, basically i should have an option to scp them according to my requirement,there is no fixed number of artifacts i want to send.

i can do this by using multiple scp tasks and enabling or disabling them as and when needed or i can even use a shell script to do this. But, it will be a burden if there are more files and even with the script i need to pass the artifact as an argument.

please help me

I will know at deploy time, but number is not consistent, if I know during deployment time that i have 5 artifacts, my developer can select only 2.

At build time, do you know which artifacts go where (or maybe at deploy time).  If so, you could make tarfiles for each scenario.
