Need a script to scp a file to multiple boxes
Hello All,

I am new to scripting and I am trying to write a script which can scp a file from one box to multiple boxes.
I am thinking to do like this.
1) create a file with list of all server names
2)write a script which will pick up each server line by line from server list and copy it to required dir

say I have my server list here cat /home/test/server.lst

171.134.55.23
171.133.23.24
and so on


scp sample user@host:

host should be replaced by each server at a time and copy it to required path.

Please help me.Thanks in advance
