copy a bunch of rile, then delete from source

[bruce]

hi...

there are multiple ways of doing this...

a simple approach:

create a list of the files
iterate through the list
 for file a
 copy from destination to source
 get, compare the filesize,mdsum,etc for the
  source, dest files
 if the files match (size,hash,etc...)
 delete the sourcefile
 continue...

Hi,

    Here is what I want to do:

- Copy a number of files (using a wildcard, like logapplication*.tar.gz)
from one server to another
- Once done, I want to delete the files from the source server.

The first step is easy to do... ssh keys, cronjob, and scp.  However, can I
be sure that the file has been copied successfully?  I thought of comparing
md5sums source/destination before deleting the source.

Could rsync be of help?

Regards,

Ugo
