    You could use the .netrc file, see

    Alternatively do you have scp?

    You could use scp after having done the public key exchange which is very easy to script.

    You can also use rsync. It has an option that allows transfer of filelists out of a single file.

    rsync can use rsh/ssh, so either you use public keys with ssh or a .rhosts.

    rsync is available from the AIX Toolbox.
