Hi all,

I need to write a scripts that makes a connection with another linux server using ssh and reads the files in a directory and stores them into an array. Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Consider using plink. It will only run a command on a server and get you the output. The you can split that output using whatever (awk for example, or cut but, I'm not sure you can do it with cut). Cheers.
By the way, you don't absolutely have to use plink, but, the way I see it, it might be the easiest way to get the output of a command that you run on a distant server.

just an example:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
var=$(ssh someserver "ls /tmp")
for files in $var
do
    echo $files
done
