I have a script which do all this on a local machine ( read some text from one file and write to another ). However i am not getting how to fetch the text data from remote machine.. I have some idea that i have to use WSHControllers object to run a script on the remote machine and fetch the data. Any pointers in that direction would be appreciated.
