Remote server file output redirection
Hi,

I want ssh to the remote server and then execute ls and redirect the output to the file in remote server itself

like

ssh root@$server `ls /var/log/users.txt > root@$server:/home/users.txt`

Can you please let me know the correct syntax for it.

Thanks in advance

Correct syntax would be
Code:
$ ssh root@${server} 'ls /var/log/users.txt > /home/users.txt'

Any redirections you specify for the remote command will be executed on the remote server, thus no need to add another root@$server
