Hi all,
please, there would be a command or script that allows me to remove files remotely?

Best regards,

Hi,
You will have to configure .rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv file to get permission on remote server.
Have a look at man .rhosts and man hosts.equiv.
You can set either of them.

If you are not bothered about security then just edit /.rhosts file and add "+ +" to it on both the servers and then you can fire command as:

# remsh hostname

Regards,

You could use remsh or rexec, assuming you have /etc/hosts.equiv or .rhosts set up. Do a man on rexec.

Assuming that you have permissions on the remote system, remsh host rm /xxx/yyy/zzz will work. Ftp can also be used. If the files are NFS mounted then rm itself will do the trick. Again, all of these are limited by the permissions that you have on the remote box.

This could also be done via SSH.

# ssh somehost "rm /dir/somefile"
