So here is what I have done already:

I have a file called abc.txt which contains list of files. I am using abc.txt to move those files to a folder, tar that folder and finally I download the tar to my local PC from my server, which is running GNU/Linux.

Here are the steps in list form:

1. abc.txt
2. abc.txt (listed files) -> folder
3. Folder -> folder.tar
4. folder.tar -> local PC.

If abc.txt contains 2 files, for example:

example1.css
example2.css

I need to download those files from abc.txt separately and directly to the local PC.

Since ftp or sftp need the file name to download it, how can I read that from abc.txt?
