Re: [tlug] deleting a local list of filenames from remote server

[Charles Muller <acmuller@example.com>]

OK.

Combining pieces from the suggestions from Clemens and Stephen, I was
able to get something working fairly quickly. Once it worked, I didn't
bother to try the rest of the suggested solutions, but I have learned from all of
them.

I have succeeded with this:

   scp ~/filelist user@example.com:public_html/cache;

   ssh user@example.com 'cd public_html/cache && xargs rm'  < filelist;

# then, to delete the contents of the filelist when I am done:

   cp ~/filelist-null ~/filelist


The kind and expert help on TLUG is always deeply appreciated.
