You're mixing scp and ssh syntax.  Try:

ssh myremotehost /home/oracle/file.sh

Replace the : with a space.  And if your key is on the remote system,
you won't even be prompted for a password, the command will just
execute.

If you want to run the script as a different user, add the `-l <user>`
after ssh.
