I have a problem with Jenkins agent, I need agent to run a bashscript in other server what save in the host, I did it in Jenkins controller just by mounting hosted to the controller container.  
That is awful agent cant access to any part of controller, and I need to run this bashscript in SSH.  
thank you for helping

Hello @hedieh and welcome to this community. 👋

You can use the [SSH Agent Plugin](https://plugins.jenkins.io/ssh-agent/) in Jenkins to run scripts on a remote server. Here’s a basic example of how you can do this in a Jenkins pipeline:

```auto
pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Run script on remote server') {
            steps {
                // Use the sshagent step provided by the SSH Agent Plugin
                sshagent(['my-ssh-credentials-id']) {
                    // Use the sh step to run your script
                    sh '''
                        ssh user@remote-server "bash /path/to/your/script.sh"
                    '''
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

```

The `sshagent` step provided by the SSH Agent Plugin allows Jenkins to use your SSH credentials for the commands inside the step.  
The `sh` step is used to run the SSH command that executes your script on the remote server.

Replace `my-ssh-credentials-id` with the ID of your SSH credentials in Jenkins.
