'exit' should work fine to log out of a remote server over ssh.

Why do you need to create a list of the files if you already know what files you want? I might try something like:

Code:
ssh hostB find /data/test -mtime -7 -print0 '|' xargs --null tar -zcf -' > files.tar.gz

This will find the files you want and stream them to you over a tarball, to be saved into files.tar.gz on your system. Note that the single brackets around the | are not optional since it is to be executed on the remote system, not locally. Also note, if there are hundreds or thousands of filenames, it may be too much for one commandline, and hence xargs, to handle...

Wouldn't scp demand a login and fail? Or does scp automatically succeed from host B to host A when host A is shelled into host B?

cfs

CFS(4)							     Kernel Interfaces Manual							    CFS(4)

NAME

       cfs - cache file system

SYNOPSIS

       cfs -s [-rd] [-f partition]

       cfs -a netaddr [-rd] [-f partition] [mtpt]

DESCRIPTION

       Cfs is a user-level file server that caches information about remote files onto a local disk.  It is normally started by the kernel at boot
       time, though users may start it manually.  Cfs is interposed between the kernel and a network connection to a remote file server to improve
       the  efficiency of access across slow network connections such as modem lines.  On each open of a file cfs checks the consistency of cached
       information and discards any old information for that file.

       Cfs mounts onto mtpt (default /) after connecting to the file server.

       The options are:

       s      the connection to the remote file server is on file descriptors 0 and 1.

       a netaddr
	      dial the destination netaddr to connect to a remote file server.

       r      reformat the cache disk partition.

       d      turn on debugging

       f partition
	      use file partition as the cache disk partition.

       All 9P messages except read, clone, and walk (see intro(5)) are passed through cfs unchanged to the remote server.  A clone followed  imme-
       diately	by a walk is converted into a clwalk.  If possible, a read is satisfied by cached data.  Otherwise, the file server is queried for
       any missing data.

FILES

       /dev/hd0cache
	      Default file used for storing cached data.

SOURCE

       /sys/src/cmd/cfs
