HI Vgersh99,

I think the purpose of another_script not being executable or write protected is only so that users with the permissions cant mess with them.

Honestly, i don't see the logic in not being able to modify the remote_script.sh as well. to me this could have been done in a much simpler way. Having said that i figured out a workaround for this problem. this is what i'm doing now.

Code:
ssh -qt root@X 'cd /path/to/remote_script/; . anotherscript; ./remote_script'

this resolved my issue.

yeah i can read it but didn't have to go that far . i posted the solution in my previous comment. that resolved it. i give you credit though, your idea of copying triggered my action :-)

Once you cd /path/to/remote_script/, anotherscript should be sourceable, too, from within remote_script!
With your solution, you need to make sure that all variables will be exported so they'll be available in the subshell that runs remote_script.
