unzip command fails in ssh
I'm trying to run a set of commands on a remote machine using ssh in a shell script. One of the commands is unzip. But when the execution reaches this command, the script fails with an error that unzip is not found. Below is the code and the error snippet.

sourceDir=$1 ; filename=$3 ; destDir=$2
ssh -l "$remoteuser" "$remotecomputer" "cd ${sourceDir} && cp -rf ${filename} ${destDir} && cd ${destDir} && unzip -o ${filename}" >>
out

sh: unzip: not found.

I have checked on the remote machine that unzip command exists. I also tried hardcoding the actual file's name as an argument to the unzip, with no luck! The error remains the same.
Any idea why am getting this error?
