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).
