Copying a list of files from one 'server' to another?

I have two servers. I would like to copy some files from one directory on server A into the same directory on server B.

Its not all the files in in the directory, just some of them.

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?

Thanks.

files.txt contains a list of every file you want to copy.


Code:
for line in files.txt
do
    cp $line server:$line
done
You get the gist...

...oh - unless its scp or something and then you'd end up having to type in your password for each line

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
