I've got a zipped file on server A, B, C. I want to unzip these from server Z.

The command ssh -f ip "unzip path/file.zip" is searching for the path on the server where I run the command and not on the specified IP. What am I doing wrong?

  • May be you should login to server Z and then ssh to A, B and C servers?

  • I actually did ssh -f ip "tar zxf file.tar.gz" but I can't imagine that unzip would be any different.

Try this:

ssh user@A "unzip path/file.zip"

If it is working, then add -f to put it in background:

ssh -f user@A "unzip path/file.zip"

ssh -f user@B "unzip path/file.zip"

ssh -f user@C "unzip path/file.zip"
