Hi,

I need to parse a variable defined in the build to the command of the SSH Task. is this possible?

Yes. We do it all the time.

In fact it doesn't work...

I've set-up a SSH Task in a deployment project, with this command: echo ${bamboo_buildNumber}

This command - executed on the remote server the SSH task connects to - echos an empty line.

Needless to say this works flawlessly when executed as a simple script command locally on the Bamboo agent machine.

Can you try ${bamboo.buildNumber} ?

they are not passing the environment through ssh.  if you change ${bamboo_buildNumber} to ${bamboo.buildNumber} it gets you closer, but only because they substitute the bamboo variable before shelling into the box.
