Is there a way to make a file list in a txt file and then somehow copy all the files in that list in one go to the other server?

What shell are you using? If it's bash or ksh put the list of files in an array, e.g.:

Code:
filelist=( "file 1" "file 2" etc. )

scp "${filelist[@]}" remote.server:path
Or use the list directly on the command line:

Code:
scp "file 1" "file 2" etc. remote.server:path
