Mobile SD Depository Raspberry Pi

I need some way of making my raspberry pi, take the files from an SD card and copy them to a HDD, and remove the files from the SD. Thats it. Any Help is appreciated.

Do you have a preferred (or essential) Operating System you want to use?

In general: work out how to do it 'manually', then automate those steps.

Where are you starting? Is the HDD connected to your RPi and mounted so that you can write to it? Do you have an SD card reader/writer dongle available for connection to the RPi?
