name="Stack over flow"  
sshpass -p${serverpassword} ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no ${username}@${servername} 'for i in $name ; do echo $i ; done'

expected result:

stack
over
flow
Solution

  • Try this:

    name="Stack over flow"  
sshpass -p${serverpassword} ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no ${username}@${servername} \
"for i in \\$name; do echo \$i; done"

    You need to double quote your command line and right escaping.
