Move Multiple Files Based on File Names Listed in a Spreadsheet / File

$

I need to move specific files from a server to another server on a monthly basis.  There are hundreds of files that are in the source directory and I need to move approximately 40 of those to the destination server.  I would like to easily add or delete the file list as needed.  I have seen where several variables were created for for each file name (and one for the path) and the ForEach Loop would go through them.  With 40 or more I was thinking that I could make a connection to an Excel spreadsheet or text file with a record for each file name and read in and and move to the next record and make that value become the content of a "FileName" variable.  Then if I wanted to add another file name I could just add another record to spreadsheet/text file or remove and the package would handle automatically....I know I'd need to do some "file exists" checking but wanted to know if this was a decent approach or if that wheel has already been created and could share with me or direct me to the solution.

Thanks for any help,

Eric
