Linux/Unix Delete files from a remote list


I want to perform:

rm -Rf file.txt file2.txt file3.txt

but from a remote list, eg: domain.com/list.txt with list.txt containing the file names (file.txt, file2.txt etc etc). How can this be done?


Solution

  • You can put the content of domain into variable and then call that variable with rm -rf command to delete the files in the desired location

    content=$(wget test.com/1.txt -q -O -); rm -rf $content
