I have a remote bash script, which goes through files using a for loop:
#!/bin/bash
for f in *.pdf;
do
echo $f
done
When executed locally:
server$./test.sh
1508.01585.pdf
1605.07683.pdf
When executed through ssh from a remote client:
client$ ssh user@server 'bash -c ~/papers/test.sh'
*.pdf
I have tried using ssh -T, bash -s, and nothing seems to work.
Please help!

This means that there are no matching files in the remote user's home directory

Maybe your current directory isn't what you think it is, and there are no*.pdffiles? Use a full name like/home/user/papers/*.pdfor whatever.

That is it! I was just not expecting that the '*.pdf' return was because there were not files found, but rather that it was not looping. Thank you! Please post as answer to accept it.

Or put acdcommand at the beginning of the script, to change to the directory that contains the files.

@cduguet See thenullglobbash option. By default a glob returns itself if it doesn't match, if you set this option it returns an empty result.
