Hi jim,

Thanks for the response but could you please elaborate it.

The local server doesn't have /usr/bin/ssh though the remote server has this(/usr/bin/ssh).

How should I modify my code. Below is the code which i am using:

ssh username@remote_server <<EOF
move files from one folder to another
EOF
