Connection to another Unix machine
Requirements

I'm running a shell script from one Unix server A which calculates the line count using "wc -l" of a file which resides in another unix server B.

I have tried the ssh also but i'm not very clear about it and its throwing error. The command I'm trying to use is:

ssh user1@serverB /temp/tmpdir/wc -l abc.txt

Please let me know how can i achieve the same using the shell script.

ftp: connect: Connection refused
ftp: connect: Connection refused
