I need to make a script that I can run in my linux terminal that will
do the following:

Log into a directory of a server online that I have access to,
and go one by one through each .txt file, displaying the text.
Then, at the end of each file, should be a prompt along the lines 
of "[s]ave [d]elete [q]uit".  

Delete will obviously delete the file, while save will save
it to a directory on my actual computer.

That's pretty much it.

Clarification of Question by nschmoyer-ga on 06 Sep 2006 11:12 PDT

Well, I have a fresh install of Ubuntu and I'm still learning
so I can't tell you whether it is ssh or nfs, but any method
that works for linux (even if i need to set anything up) is
completely fine with me.

I do see a lot of stuff about ssh though, I guess I should look
into it.

Question: I need to know how I can access your server. Samba (Windows
File Sharing), ssh, nfs, other?

its very easy if you can run a php script on it.

there are easy PHP script to do the same...

Since you will be looking at the files you will be receiving them in your 
local computer anyway through the network. The simplest strategy therefore is

1) Download them as a batch (using ftp or whatever) in a temporary directory
2) Look at the local copy, delete the ones you dont want
3) Move the rest to the final location

These can be easily done with scripts (probably one for the whole process, 
and one for the ftp).
