Running a shell script on a remote server

I am trying to run a .sh script on a remote server and am getting the following error message.

Really not sure what I am doing wrong.

The command I am using is: $ssh user@remoteserver path of file to be executed/Test.sh

Which returns the error: ksh: syntax error: `(' unexpected

Any pointers would be great :)

If Machine A is a Windows box, you can use Plink (part of PuTTY) with the -m parameter, and it will execute the local script on the remote server.

plink root@MachineB -m local_script.sh

If Machine A is a Unix-based system, you can use:

ssh root@MachineB 'bash -s' < local_script.sh

You shouldn't have to copy the script to the remote server to run it.
