In the VM space you can use ftp or RSCS to send commands to a remote system. Of course, the target of the commands dictates what kind of commands you can issue.

In many an addled session I myself have gone as far as first uploading the script I wished to run remotely via "scp", then "chmod"-ing it to "+x" in a subsequent ssh session, and running the result... This "ssh/scp" trick is currently of little use in VM, MVS or VSE... What is of use is the perverse ability to actually "punch" job cards on these systems via various options on the several implementations of FTP. Note that this could be considered part of a Remote Job Entry (RJE) implementation or subsystem, and is certainly worth looking into. As this is a Christian list, I am not even going to discuss IND$FILE (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__en.wikipedia.org_wiki_IND-24FILE&d=DwIFaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=XX3LPhXj6Fv4hkzdpbonTd1gcy88ea-vqLQGEWWoD4M&m=o6rpkJzLTWowTsWSnhwrvahB3N7uHHfdXGil1hjEY10&s=tlNGYoa3V8x9JOdUzV98B9JjzM8l8btbgdbFQJUsGrU&e=), or Kermit as my head would very likely explode, or I might spontaneously combust for my sins. I believe that one of the holy grails of zVM systems development is to develop a sane and secure RJE capability. I ardently hope that whatever in-accuracies occur in this answer are pointed out by the community, as this is a very good question.
