this works for me:
Code:
ssh user@SERVER date '+%Y%m%d'

i am assuming you wish to fetch the date from the SERVER. You can specify a command to run with ssh (the date command in this case)

I want to save that value in a variable as i am deleting the files on that server for that date.
rm -f file$TODAY_DATE.dat


Thanks,
Swat

here is how you can get the date in a variable (at the local system)
Code:
that_date=`ssh user@SYSTEM date '+%Y%m%d'`
echo $that_date
