Shell script for copying the specific file from csv to another directory with same folder hierarchy structure – CentOS

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
