    There is an UUoC ("ssh host command < file" is neater), but more
    importantly, this relies on the premise that "." would be a part of
    the remote PATH, which hopefully is not the case, and moreover, for
    an executable file with an identical name not to exist elsewhere in
    the PATH of the remote system (at least before ".", which should not
    be a part of the PATH, but if it does appear, should do so only as
    the very last item).
