Pass path variable on SSH
hi Gurus,

Have been struggling with this for a while

I have 2 servers , lets say local A and remote B, I need to use both as a part of a pipeline. The folder structure is shared between the two, so I can access the same files and folders from both A and B.

When I try to ssh into B from A, it always goes to my home directory in B , I want to go into a specific folder instead and want to pass the path of the folder as a variable to ssh.

What are my options? Please assist

This is what I tried


Code:
[/serverA/]$ workdir1="/My/Intended/Path/"
sshpass -p password ssh userid@serverB.xxx.org << ENDSSH
workdir1=\$workdir1
cd \$workdir1
echo $(pwd)
## Other operations on server B
ENDSSH

ssh-keysign

SSH-KEYSIGN(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					    SSH-KEYSIGN(8)

NAME

     ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for host-based authentication

SYNOPSIS

     ssh-keysign

DESCRIPTION

     ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication with
     SSH protocol version 2.

     ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
     EnableSSHKeysign to ``yes''.

     ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1).  See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about host-based authen-
     tication.

FILES

     /etc/ssh/ssh_config
	     Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.

     /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
	     These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature.  They should be owned by root, read-
	     able only by root, and not accessible to others.  Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host-
	     based authentication is used.

SEE ALSO

     ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8)

HISTORY

     ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
