When I get some service or updates done to my test Linux server, that's actually the easy part. Then I have to move it around to more than a dozen other Linux servers, logging on to each one in turn and doing an FTP "get" for each file on each server. As I get more servers running, this problem will only get worse.
I'd like to automate this, with a single script to consult a list of servers and a list of files to be placed on each server. Then with a single command from my central distribution server, I could automatically update files on all the other servers. This presumes a service userid with the same password on all servers, changed frequently. Is there anything like "wget", except doing "puts" instead of "gets"? Is there anything else I might use? I really want to have to avoid logging on to each and every server. Bonus if it would preserve ownership and permissions. "You do not need a parachute to skydive.
