Command echo
 

I am trying to get echo to work with ssh and am having no luck in getting it to do what I want. I want to be able to ssh into a box and echo text to a file that doesn't yet exist.

ssh isn't an issue because when I substitute echo with "ls", it returns a listing. But when using echo, a file is never created. Here's what I have....

Why does echo not like this and what is the work arround to this?

I'd be interested to know what actually happens, do you get an error msg? In any case, I'd recommend using single quotes (') around the entire cmd http://bashcurescancer.com/run_remot..._with_ssh.html

Try

Your redirect ends up on the local box.

Thanks Tink. the quotes did the trick.
