In OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 I tried this command I want a var to set and confirm as well . but this display none .

ssh localhost "sh -c var=tell;echo $var" 

Please advice.

This is not a bug - you just need to be careful about quoting. E.g.:

$ ssh localhost "sh -c 'foo=bar;echo \$foo'"
bar

This is a function of your shell, not ssh. If in doubt, put what you are trying to do inside a shell script.
