file extraction and scp 1

[nimrodman]

Can anyone help me at solving the following riddle, I am trying to do a simple script to:

Create a password file on server A
How can I extract certain file names from a sub directory of server A?

For example the files may be of type *.txt or *.123

Send the found files a new list and sort them by name
Change the name of the new files
Send the files to a remote server (B)
SSH to the remote server (B) to check that the files are there
If the files are there, delete them from the original host (A)
Thanks in advance for your suggestion

Create a password file on server A

I'm not sure what you mean by this

How can I extract certain file names from a sub directory of server A?

For example the files may be of type *.txt or *.123

man find

Send the found files a new list and sort them by name

man sort

Change the name of the new files

man mv

Send the files to a remote server (B)

man scp

SSH to the remote server (B) to check that the files are there

man ssh and ls

If the files are there, delete them from the original host (A)

look at return codes and man rm

A star for columb for an excellent response. The original post sounded like it could be a school assignment to me. Your response was the perfect answer whether it was or not.
