thanx Zirias
it prompts for password , i dont want to have a passwordless ssh login
how can i supply the password with this command
i tried using expect and send command but it doesnt work
Hmm, you'll probably want to use an ssh key. You can generate one for your script, make it have no passphrase and keep it secret by setting appropriate permissions on it.
Well that probably relates to filesystem permissions. Who is creating the file? Log in the machine interactively, check the permissions with ls -l. You need to add your ssh key to an account that actually HAS permissions for the file you want to delete AND the directory containing that file.
i logged and tried to delete it manually it gives the same permission denied , i checked the ownership group and permission it, owner itself cant delete the file how is this possible..

Can you post the output of stat /home/XYZ/t/txt and ls -la /home/XYZ/t/ (as root user).
