                          I want to create a temp folder on a remote machine using mktemp, then move some files on the remote machine to that directory. 

I tried the following:

    ssh "$target" "mv $HOME/scripts/* $(mktemp -d -t scripts.XXXXXX)"

But get an error from the remote machine that no such file was created. Any ideas?
