ssh script

I am trying to set up a script to to ssh into another machine and
perform some commands. I have managed to create the keygen and
transfer it accross so that I can ssh without being prompted for a
password. However each time I execute the script I only make it as far
as logging into the remote machine. A basic testscript I have tried is
the following.

#!/bin/Bash
ssh user@remote_machine
touch testfile
exit

Once I can perform this basic command then I can work on exactly what
I want the script to do. Unfortunately I cannot execute the touch or
exit command. I have tried using the wait command in between ssh and
touch but to no avail. Can somebody please help or point me in the
right direction.
