How to redirect echo output over ssh to file

I am trying to redirect the contents of a variable to a file via ssh. as:

ssh $MachineIP  echo $CM_Config > $mName/CM_CONFIG

where $CM_Config

is a local variable in my host containing multiple lines and $mName/CM_CONFIG

is in $MachineIP

how to redirect local variable to remote file if my ssh configurations are correct. thanks in advance

In my case, the problem is solved with this command:

ssh $MachineIP " echo \"$CM_Config\" > \"$mName/CM_CONFIG\" "


In fact, without including my variable, my problem was not solved. Perhaps this is because the contents of these variables are somehow similar to a bash command and are on multiple lines.

You must include the whole command with double quotes

ssh $MachineIP "echo $CM_Config > $mName/CM_CONFIG"


This allows variables to be replaced by the local shell and redirection performed on the remote host.
