However, with a bit of bash knowledge, you can pass entire scripts over SSH without having the <code>.sh<\/code>\u00a0file on the remote machine.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Solution_Pass_The_Script_Over_Standard_Input\"><\/span>The Solution: Pass The Script Over Standard Input<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The SSH command has a mode where you can run any single command on a remote server. In order to run multiple commands, you\u2019ll have to use the following hack:<\/p>\n<pre>ssh user@remotehost 'bash -s' &lt; script.sh<\/pre>\n<p>The <code>bash -s<\/code>\u00a0command means \u201cexecute the following commands in a new bash session.\u201d The <code>-s<\/code>\u00a0flag makes it read from standard input, and the <code>&lt; script.sh<\/code>\u00a0bit will read a local script file into standard input.<\/p>\n<p>The file is read entirely locally, and all gets sent to the remote server without uploading anything. This does require you to put all the commands into a separate script file.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Running_Many_Remote_Commands_Inside_a_Script\"><\/span>Running Many Remote Commands Inside a Script<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you instead want to run a portion of a shell script on another server, but not the entire thing, you can include nested blocks like the following in your script:<\/p>\n<pre>ssh user@remotehost 'bash -s' &lt;&lt;'ENDSSH'&#13;\n  # The following commands run on the remote host&#13;\n  echo \"test\"&#13;\n  cd \/home\/&#13;\n  pwd&#13;\nENDSSH<\/pre>\n<p>This works because <code>bash -s<\/code>\u00a0is expecting any kind of standard input. The <code>&lt;&lt;'ENDSSH'<\/code>\u00a0directive makes a \u201chere-document\u201d structure, basically passing all characters between it and the ending \u201cENDSSH\u201d to standard input, and hence to the remote host over SSH.<\/p>\n<p>Doing it this way means you can keep everything in one script file, rather than making a new one to run on the remote.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
