Shell Programming and Scripting

Conneect remote server and then count no of files in the directory

Code:

 sftp ksmsft1@laixu110.jkea.jlroot.net << EOF cd /opt/jls/  ls quit EOF

When I try above command it doesnt work , we have ssh configured and hence with below command I can connect without asking for password

Code:

 sftp ksmsft1@laixu110.jkea.jlroot.net

I have two imp requiremenss
1)Connect and count no of files in a directory as

Code:

 ls -lrt | wc -l

will not work in sftp prompt
2)need this code in one line as I am executing it from some other application
In case there is other easier way please let me know

Why sftp ?? and why not ssh ..

Code:

$ ssh ksmsft1@laixu110.jkea.jlroot.net "ls -ltr /opt/jls | wc -l"

as it gives message "No terminal authorization granted"

Are you getting the required output along with this message?
Use -q to suppress such messages.

Code:

ssh ksmsft1@laixu110.jkea.jlroot.net "echo 1234"
