run python script with arguments on a remote linux host

Question

I have this python script that I'm trying to run on a remote host. However, the script requires two arguments. For example, python script.py --port 4000 --service status

Now when I run the script locally on the machine it works fine. How can I run this same script on a remote linux machine. I've tried ssh user@remotehost python script.py --port 4000 --service status This doesn't work. The arguments are not passed in.

Thank you

sss user@foo 'put remote command in quotes'.

You should use the following -

ssh user@remotehost "python script.py --port 4000 --service status"

Please notice the " double quotes, it has to be double quotes.

What version of ssh are you using? I can use single quotes. ssh -V -> OpenSSH_6.6.1p1 Ubuntu-2ubuntu2, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
