I am getting the complete list as above command(1st command)

Please suggest or give me the correct format to make it work

Answer 1

The proper syntax is

ssh username@10.10.10.10 "ls -lLtp /web/sample/g\*"

Answer 2

Quote the command so that it is not expanded locally, and change directories on the remote end:

ssh username@10.10.10.10 'cd /web/sample; ls -lLtp g*'

Answer 3

You could do:

ssh username@10.10.10.10 -- 'cd /web/sample && ls -lLtp g*'

Also, you might need to add the "d" option to ls, if g* give only one result and if the result is a directory, you'll get the content of this directory.
