There should be no non-interactive passing of passwords to ssh - that's what keys are for. Passing passwords always means to have them unencrypted in your filesystem. You could do it though with expect. But as already said I guess there could be something wrong with exchanged keys.
If your ssh login works, you can issue the command for the script the same way, if the script is deployed on the target machine:
Code:
ssh wlsadmin@machineB "/path/toyour/script.sh"

Can I also pass arguments to the script as ssh wlsadmin@machineB "/path/toyour/script.sh myfile.txt"

Please correct me if my syntax is incorrect.

Thanks much zaxxon Smilie

Sure, that is absolutely no problem. Just try it out:
Code:
ssh wlsadmin@machineB "ls -la /tmp| head"

If your script accepts parameters, go on Smilie
