remsh requires Kerberos 5 authentication and requires that the local user ID is not the root user. You specified to use only ftp not remote shells.

The watch command has the disadvantage that if the computer reboots you lose the command. You can use any well known scheduler for that cases.

Check here at cron:

There is another way you can do it: test permanently on host if a certain file exists, and when it does run the command once.

So you re-upload the run.txt file again for each time you want to run mycommand and even you can change the command for the next time. If for some reason the command fails the file failed.txt will be generated and you can see it from ftp.

On host:
Code:
echo "my command" > mycommand.sh

Code:
watch -n10 "if test -e run.txt ; then chmod +x mycommand.sh && ./mycommand.sh && rm run.txt || rm run.txt && echo > failed.txt ; fi"

-------------
Remote:
Code:
 ftp put run.txt run.txt

OR
Local:
Code:
echo > run.txt
