Looks like you are escaping the \ symbol at end.

ssh usrname@ find /shg/HPUX -name *.gz -mtime \+20 -exec ls -l {} \\;

I see 2 \ symbols, use 1 symbol

ssh usrname@ find /shg/HPUX -name *.gz -mtime \+20 -exec ls -l {} \;

TRY:


ssh usrname@ `find /shg/HPUX -name *.gz -mtime \+20 -exec ls -l {} \;`

You missed the ``.

I tried this on my machine:

ssh usrname@ `find /tmp -atime +7 -type f -local -exec ls {} \;`

Thanks,
Frederick

Thanks Fedrick

ssh username@ 'find /shg/HPUX -name *.gz -mtime \+20 -exec ls -l {} \;' command works fine
