You mean, you have a connection from A to B, and you want B to execute some
shell scripts that are on A?  The straightforward method would be (assuming
you have used Kermit on A to make the connection to B):

 1. Start Kermit on B, put it in server mode.
 2. Send the shell script files from A to B.

Then give "remote host" commands to Kermit A to tell it to tell the Kermit
server on B to tell B's shell to execute each script.
