need add string to file on remote ssh server without prompting sudo password

myuser=testuser

$ sshpass -p "$mypass" ssh -t -o StrictHostKeycheking=no $myuser@$myhost "echo $mypass | sudo -S -s /bin/bash -c \"echo $myText >> test.txt\""

sometimes it gives me

[sudo] password for testuser: /bin/bash: line 1: test.txt: No such file or directory

  • Why do you need sudo? Don't you have write access to your home directory? Anyways, you might try with sudo tee test.txt <<< "$myText" or write to /tmp and sudo mv to the final destination. You should review your workflow, this is a security nightmare. Commented Mar 2, 2023 at 13:29
  • it's not my server. test.txt file path is different for example /root/test.txt Commented Mar 3, 2023 at 9:03
