Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,
I have to execute one script on remote server. As far as i know we can do FTP to login on to remote server and list down the files. Is there any option to execute any shell secript on the remote server using this or any other remote login.

We have rlogin command also but i am not sure how to pass the user id and password information to this command and execute other script on it. (which on the server different from the server on which i have logged on) .

making it more easier to understand. I have a script on server A. though which i have to execute another script located on server B . Is it possible ?

any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Manish

u can try,

Code:

ssh userid@servername <command_to_execute_in_remoteserver>

or

Code:

rsh <hostname> -l <username> <cmd_to_execute>

but make sure for necessary permissions and public key swapping if u are using ssh

Hi Madhan

Thanks for you quick reply !!!

I am clarifying what i wanted
To run a run a script whch will login to a remote server taking the username and passwd as parameters and will run set of the command there and then logout

if set correctly, matrixmadhan's solution should work unless you are trying a sudo or su action on the remote server ...

if remote account that needs to run the command set on the remote server is the same as the local account, there should be no need to pass a username and password to get what you need done when using ssh/rsh
