Shell script - SSH

Question

I am using shell script to add some file to server. Is there any way to write a shell script that will execute one part on local computer and the other part when you're logged into that server?

For example, I want to log in, do something, add some file, and then I want to list everything on that server.

ssh something@something

I enter password

Then list files from server.

You can append the command to run onto the ssh command as in ssh user@host ls /remote/dir/on/host Couple that with an SSH key, and the action is basically seamless as though you executed it locally. — Michael Berkowski

You can just add a command to end of the ssh command; for example:

ssh username@host ls

will run ls on the server, instead of giving you a login shell.
