When your commands go to server, all the variables are replaced by its values.
The 'echo '${test1[$m]}' at the end of your command is evaluated by your local system (the first element of the array since it cannot make out what $m is) and would be replaced by 'test1' by the time it reaches the server . So it prints the same for all the iterations.

Yes, makes sense (now that you mention it Smilie)

But that's the nice thing about BASH, there's no "No way out" problem:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
TEST=test
TEST1=(test1 test2 test3)
ssh server 'TEST2=('${TEST1[*]}') ; for m in $(seq 0 $(eval echo \${TEST2[*]} | tr " " "\n" | wc -l)); eval echo \${TEST2[$m]}; done'

Declaring a Variable, that is iterated before the loop, so that the array gets populated as expected and then iterated together with the loop variable $m.

Thank you for the hint. A nice day to you all Smilie

ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)

NAME

       ecaccess-file-move - Move or Rename ECaccess Files

SYNOPSIS

       ecaccess-file-move -version|-help|-manual

       ecaccess-file-move [-debug] source-ecaccess-file target-ecaccess-file

DESCRIPTION

       Allow moving an ECaccess File. When the move occurs within the same ECaccess File System then it is a rename. When the move occurs across
       two different ECaccess File Systems then first a copy is done and then a delete of the original file is done (e.g. similar to ecaccess-
       file-copy ... -erase).

       The source-ecaccess-file and target-ecaccess-file are in the form [domain:][/user-id/]path. Please read the "Shell commands -> File
       Management" section of the "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System.

ARGUMENTS

       source-ecaccess-file
	       The source ECaccess File name.

       target-ecaccess-file
	       The target ECaccess File name.

OPTIONS

       -version
	       Display version number and exits.

       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.

       -manual Prints the manual page and exits.

       -debug  Display the SOAP messages exchanged.

EXAMPLES

       ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt ec:test2.txt

       Rename the test1.txt file in the ECFS directory of the authenticated user in test2.txt.

       ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt home:test2.txt

       Copy the test1.txt file from the ECFS directory of the authenticated user to the test2.txt file in the $HOME directory of the authenticated
       user, then delete the test1.txt file from ECFS.
