Backticks will run the command on the local shell and put the results on the command line  What you re saying is  execute   test foo sh and then pass the output as if I d typed it on the commandline here    Try the following command  and make sure that thats the path from your home directory on the remote computer to your script   ssh kev server1    test foo sh    Also  the script has to be on the remote computer  What this does is essentially log you into the remote computer with the listed command as your shell  You can t run a local script on a remote computer like this  unless theres some fun trick I don t know

If you want to execute a local script remotely without saving that script remotely you can do it like this   cat local script sh   ssh user remotehost  bash -    It works like a charm for me   I do that even from Windows to Linux given that you have MSYS installed on your Windows computer
