"remotehost" in the context that Lukas used:
ssh remotehost cmd
means the remote system user and name. Like so:
ssh user@host cmd
and "cmd" is the actual command you want to run. Text that the remote
command outputs to stdout and stderr will be routed back to you on the ssh
client side.

See here for the man page for the "ssh" utility for more details:

Note that on IBM i, the ssh command line is the PASE for i environment. So
if you want to run a CL command, you'll need to use the "system" utility:

Good luck!
