Hi,  
  
Actually the topic pretty much explains itself.  
  
Thanks,

NirS,  
  
You can use the Telnet Client action to run commands on a Unix server which runs telnetd.  
  
If there’s enough interest, we could look into adding ssh client support in the future.

I checked it now, actually what we need is SSH connection not telnet, but I don't think it qualifies as enough interest

I'll put it on the feature request list.  
  
In the meantime, you could look into using the Execute Program action to run a command line ssh client which executes a remote shell script (most commandline ssh clients can take a flag to run a remote command when logged in.)  
  
You could use key encryption to remove the need for a password to be entered at runtime.
