shell script for file transfer

Hi,
I want to tranfer or copy a file from one Linux server to another Linux server using a shell script. Can anyone help?

Maybe if you were more specific about your requirements,
and the possible facilities? Won't a plain scp do?

Cheers,
Tink

I have a file on a Linux server say Server 1 and I want that file to be transfered via a shell script to a another linus server Server 2

What do you mean when you say via "shell script". What's
the process you need to mimic, what is the expected outcome?

Code:

#!/bin/bash
scp /path/to/file1 server2:/path/to/file1

Just make passwordless ssh authentication possible for the
user account that runs this ...

Cheers,
Tink
