Hi Friends,

Hi! I do not understand your situation well, can you please elaborate on what are you trying to achieve? If possible, can you post your entire command or script that your having problem with? And what does this
Code:
filename=`find value -l *.csv`

do? By looking at it, it looks like it's not a valid "find" command. I maybe wrong though.

Code:
ssh user@B-2.10.32.23 "filename='$filename' sh -i"

If your remote shell of preference is not sh, substitute the one you want. You may need to add or change the options, too.

i don't think you can take a variable from box A to box B by ssh..
try exporting it to box B from box A
