Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting [SSH] Accessing remote directory with user-passed path Post 302566100 by Corona688 on Wednesday 19th of October 2011 12:24:18 PM

Code:
dir=  $1

The spaces between = and $1 stop this from working, which is probably why $dir doesn't work.

When dir is $1, ./$1 won't do what you want, since you want to run ./file, not ./dir
