Full Discussion: Pass path variable on SSH

I want to cd as well, but the path is not being passed from local to remote. I cant manually cd , this is part of a pipeline, so the cd has to be part of a variable based shell-script.
Any variable for that matter, is there a way to pass variables?

Sorry about the confusion, I tried every combination without any luck,

Code:
workdirlocal="/My/Intended/Path/"
sshpass -p password ssh userid@serverB.xxx.org << ENDSSH
workdirremote=\$workdirlocal
cd $workdirremote
echo $(pwd)
ENDSSH
