ls -ltr command On Remote server

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

I am writing a script where in i have to log into a remote machine and check for necessary file by typing (ls -ltr *200505) (this gets all 05month of 2008 yr files) and if files are found get them to the local machine. If not found print a message saying no files on local machine.
When i was trying to accomplish this , i was able to log in to the remote server but cannot write ls -ltr command on remote server. When i tried , it says "Remote file local file" i couldnt understand. Please help.

Hi,

Actually i think first you have to connect to the remote server and then see for your existence of it trough if command and if found then you cn use the move command and move it across to some temporary file and then transfer it across to the other server using the scp command... I thinkthis sould work..
