ssh: Run a command on a remote server with a [t]ty allocation allowing interaction with the remote command.
$ ssh ${username}@${remote_host} -t ${command} ${command_arguments}
try on your machine
This command enables a secure shell (SSH) connection to a remote server, executes a command with specified arguments on the remote host, and returns the output to the local machine.
Here's a breakdown of the components:
ssh
: Stands for Secure SHell and is a network protocol used to establish a secure connection to a remote server.${username}
: Refers to the username you will use to authenticate yourself on the remote server.${remote_host}
: Specifies the IP address or hostname of the remote server you want to connect to.-t
: This option forces a pseudo-terminal allocation, which is necessary when executing interactive commands that require a terminal.${command}
: Represents the command you want to execute on the remote server.${command_arguments}
: Refers to any additional arguments you want to pass to the command.
By combining all these parts, the command establishes an SSH connection to ${remote_host}
using the ${username}
, executes ${command}
on the remote server with the specified ${command_arguments}
, and displays the resulting output on your local machine.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
