HI thanks for the help, yes I want to back up the files on 5 different remote servers according to the result of "ls /myDoc/" in local machine, the 5 servers which mirrors to each other and copy the files over to remote servers . But after i debugged it, i found out the root of the problem was
Code:
for index in $array ; do
ssh $index

so I tried
Code:
array=( serverA serverB serverC serverD serverE)
for index in $array ; do
ssh $index "echo `pwd`"

and the result was I'm still in my local machine and it was printed 5 times (due to loop). The ssh fails to connect to remote servers, but no errors being generated. i can ssh no problem in a command line (without the need to supply any login or password). But somehow in the script it doesn't work. I don't know why this is occuring.
