Try
Code:
test=\`ls\`

Or try
Code:
ssh user@server << 'EOF'

This treats the following text as being in 'ticks'
But often this replaces one problem by another.
The real solution is to have two scripts:
Code:
#localscript
ssh user@server < remotescript

Or, safer, force the correct interpreter in a remote shell:
Code:
#localscript
ssh user@server /bin/sh < remotescript

No restriction on remotescript, and can be interactively tested on a remote system.
