looking for advice...

Hi.

First of all, Im an msoft guy, and when it comes to linux/unix, I'm retarded.

Here is what I'm trying to do.

I want to

start
I want to automatically connect to a remote server.
Then I need it to login(https)

-insert the licensce in the box(vi)
-based on that licensce, the remote server will generate a active licensce.
-Then I need it to copy the file generated above into /var/whatever/xyz(vi)

To summarize the steps above. The user executes the script and it authenticates into a remote box. It will then upload a file and submit. The server then generates a new licensce and updates a file on the box.

Is it possible to build a form like:
What is the name of your server
What is the ip address of your server
What is the gateway of the server

This information is then written back to the box.
