I need to run a script from my local machine on a remote server via SSH. One of the operations involves chown and for that I need to have a programatic access to the server's user name (I am looping through a couple of servers)
But when using whoami for the chown argument I get the username of my user on the local machine that is SSHing in.
If I check with simple whoami it gives the remote user but I cannot capture it into a variable.
How to get the remote user name?
ssh $server << EOF
pwd
whoami
rsync /some/stuff ./dump
chown `whoami`:`whoami` ./dump
EOF
ssh users ubuntu-18.04 chown
