Not sure of details, but writing the string to a file and then using ftp to transfer it to the other computer might be an option.
Probably need more details on the setup.

Actually I need a shell script to do it. Eg :

sh login.sh "arun1"
login.sh contains

Code:
variable=$1
if [ $variable = arun1 ]
then
     ssh jabbo1 sh another_script.sh 
elif [ $variable = arun2 ]
then
     ssh jabbo2 sh another_script.sh 
else
     echo different host
fi

another_script.sh :
Code:
echo value from another host :  $variable

Why can't you use them? Keys are how noninteractive ssh is supposed to work.
