Hi,
Please help me...
I am creating a string of filenames with absolute path and deleting
those files situated in the remote server using ssh .. but it doesnot
work..
Can anyone help me...
here is my code

for FileName in ${myDire}
do
Tmp=`basename $FileName`
DelFiles="${DelFiles} "${SourceDirectory}/${Tmp}
done
#DelFiles contain files to be deleted with abolute path

ssh USer/Pwd@Domain echo ${DelFiles} | xargs rm

This statement gives 0 as the return value , but not deleting any of
those files

Thanks in advance
Shihab
