If you want to split your commands over multiple lines for the sake of readability, you could also pass the list of commands to the bash command as follows:

ssh user@remote.host bash -c "'

'"

Try something like this:

ssh you@yours.com "cd /home && ls -l"

ssh user@remote "cd Desktop/testfolder ; java -cp xyz.jar Main"
