hello,

Thanks for your reply. The first command you mentioned works for me. e.g.

ssh source-ip "cd /home/dir1/html; zip /home/backup.zip dir2/test.php dir3/dir4/test2.php domains/dir5/test3.php"

this creates zip file when i run from command line as i mentioned multiple file to archive. Now only problem i am facing when i run the same command from script it only creates zip with first file i.e. dir2/test.php , & for the second file i got following error.

bash: line 1: dir3/dir4/test3.php: Permission denied

Can you please help me out what causing this error. FYI, both file permissions is set to root.
Looking to hear from you.

Well, i comeup with the result that in bash script i store path in variable. i.e.

cat path.txt

dir2/test.php dir3/dir4/test2.php domains/dir5/test3.php

# bin/bash

TESTPATH=`cat path.txt`
ssh source-ip "cd /home/dir1/html; zip /home/backup.zip $TESTPATH"

it gives me permission denied error. and when i don't use TESTPATH and uses following command in script. it runs without any problem.


# bin/bash

ssh source-ip "cd /home/dir1/html; zip /home/backup.zip dir2/test.php dir3/dir4/test2.php domains/dir5/test3.php"
