As Ewen has posted, that doesn't work for me either (I get "bash:
./filename: No such file or directory", for reasons I can't fathom).

I do have a shell script set up to copy "my stuff" (ie, set up
authorized_keys, and make sure the profile looks roughly right) to a
new machine, though, viz:

#!/bin/sh
host=$1
cat .ssh/authorized_keys | ssh michaelr@$host '
    mkdir -p $HOME/.ssh
    chmod 0700 $HOME/.ssh
    echo "set showmode wm=10 sw=4 tabstop=8 ai" > $HOME/.exrc
    cat > $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
    chmod 0600 $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
    rm -f $HOME/.bash_profile $HOME/.bashrc $HOME/.bash_login
    h=`hostname`
    cat > $HOME/.profile <<EOF
PAGER=less
LESS=-smeX
PS1="$h\$ "
ls() { command ls -F $@; }
export PAGER LESS
EOF
