How to cd on remote server via SSH bash script?

Question

I have a bash script I'm using to connect to a remote server via ssh. That works, however I want the script to immediately pass the command of cd /some/dir after connecting. That doesn't seem to be working. Here's my code:

#!/bin/bash
echo "SSHing.."
ssh -i ~/.ssh/some-site.pem [email protected]
cd /some/dir        
read

How can I have the cd command be executed right after SSH connection is established?

Answer 1

There are two easy ways to execute commands via SSH from inside the script:

1) ssh user@host 'command'

2)

ssh user@host <<<EOF
command1
command2
<...>
commandn
EOF
