what error are u getting,

if u need to execute a command on a remote server with ssh, you should have the public keys swapped between the two servers.

then executing,
ssh $LOGNAME@<remoteserver> <command_to_execute>

will work.

is your process hanging prompting for password ?

Sorry & Thanks for Kind replay
I am unable to express what i want

I want to run some command after loging on to the remote machine(linux)
such as

1) first I want to list all the current dirctory file of current system
2) Log on to Remote system using ssh
3) list the files on the remote machine

And I want all these to be done from a shell script file

the code is


ls
ssh 10.6.16.145
ls

at last I need to get back on the orginal system
Hope this would make more clear

Thanks in Advance
