Question

Is it possible to login to a particular folder of a remote machine, through shell script:
instead of ssh and then cd. Can I do it in one command?
Is it possible to copy a file on two different folders of a remote machine through scp in one go?

Answer 1

You can pass the cp command to ssh as follows:

ssh user@host "cp /path/to/folder1/file /path/to/folder2"

or combine with cd:

ssh user@host "cd /path/to/folder1; cp file /path/to/folder2"
