Running a Script in a Remote server

I am trying to write a script that would let me run a command in a remote server using ssh.

scriptA: (dcm2nii is a command that only works on the other server)
dcm2nii a b c

scriptB: (I run this one on the current server)
ssh -X otherserver /home/abc/Desktop/scriptA

But when I do
./scriptB
it says line 1: dcm2nii: command not found
but I can do
ssh -X otherserver
dcm2nii a b c
and it works...dcm2nii works in any folder...what have I done wrong?

Thanks for the help..

When you post commands or outputs, put them in code tags.

Anyway, your command should be:
Code:
 ssh otherserver:/home/abc/Desktop/scriptA
