What does "nothing works" mean? Do you get output on the screen? Is
the output file created? Is there data in the file? Do you get both
output and error in the file?

What is '>?' supposed to mean? I've never seen that before.

What shell are you using? If you have an sh-style shell then you can
redirect STDERR.

ssh ... "/etc" 2>test.dat

I'm not sure this has anything to do with ssh in particular. It just
seems to be a question of how to redirect STDERR in your shell of
choice.
