Change directory on remote server with zsh

I usually ssh into my aws account then immediately change directory to my working directory.

I am now using an alias in my .zshrc file for the ssh command. However , ideally, I'd like to ssh in then change directories automatically with my alias command. Cant figure out the cd part on the remote server. My alias looks something like this now:

alias aws="ssh -i ~/.ssh/mykeypair.pem [email protected]"

I think the preferred way would be creating ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc file on your remote host or appending to the end just:

cd your/working/directory/

Just tested and works fine for me

Other way would be changing your alias to something like:

alias aws="ssh -tt -i ~/.ssh/mykeypair.pem [email protected] 'cd your/working/directory/; bash'"

Additionally you can change bash for zsh if you want to use zsh as your shell on remote host.
