Can you please tell me where I am going wrong. The local shell script
is as follows.

#!/bin/sh
ssh root@xxxxxxxxxxx ~/testscripts/copyexecutable

The tilda will be expanded by your local shell; try quoting it.

If no absolute path is given the default directory in the ssh session
will be the remote user's home directory. Try

ssh root@xxxxxxxxxxx "testscripts/copyexecutable"

I always quote remote commands out of habit although they shouldn't be
required unless there are spaces.
