shell script for checking files at remote scp sever using ssh

Question

I am checking files at remote sever in /temp directory and storing the count of the files in a temp files and doing scp to local sever. When I am running below command on console, its running file but its not working in shell script.

ssh id@$remote_sever
cd /temp
ls  *.txt | wc -l > /temp/temp.txt
scp /temp/temp.txt infa_id@local_sever:/TEMP
exit

/temp/temp.tx sure not a typo?

You don't need a temporary file on the other machine. You can execute the command via SSH and then store the result locally:

ssh id@remote_server 'ls /temp/*txt | wc -l' > /TEMP/temp.txt
