Hi All,

When you are on x and want to do it on y, you have to write as hostname y, not x. Also using single backticks like ` is not ok - those have a complete different effect than using single quotes ' or double quotes ".

Code:
ssh -l username y "mkdir /tmp/created ; mkdir two"

Correct this and try again.
