update a common file in different/remote servers
Dear All, I need to update a common file (ie. same path and same filename) but located in different servers. (ie. remotely located ~ able to ssh from my server). Can someone help me how to go ahead with this? (Since I'm manually editing that file in 20 servers Smilie)

Is the file identical on all servers? If so, just edit it in one place and scp the updated file to all of them.

Otherwise it depends on what kind of edit you are doing; is it something that can be achieved with a simple search-and-replace? If so, try scripting it in sed, and then running it through an ssh command. Be careful of quoting rules though!
