I think I figured the problem! The machine from where I'm running the script does not have unzip command. Hence the error!

I gave the entire path to unzip, that I got from the remote machine with the help of 'which unzip'. Therefore my script now looks like,

ssh -l "$remoteuser" "$remotecomputer" "cd ${sourceDir} && cp -rf ${filename} ${destDir} && cd ${destDir} && /opt/oracle/ormerck/product/10.2.0.4/bin/unzip -o ${filename}"

My only worry is whether the path to unzip will change from machine to machine. I don't want the path to unzip to be a part of my script. Any ideas as to how I can avoid this?

NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command] hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command] DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally. OPTIONS
