In short:
remote$ ssh local tmux <command>
Works much the same as:
local$ tmux <command>
You need to be able to ssh from the remote host back to the local (which should
be
the case unless you're going through a firewall or something, like I am)
It also makes things a lot easier if you've got ssh keys setup in both
directions,
so you don't need to keep typing passwords in.
Here's a picture of how it works (in my head at least - please correct me here
if I'm wrong)
Local case:
tmux server <--> local socket <--> tmux command
Remote case: (<==/thing/==> is a network connection between local & remote
hosts)
tmux server <--> local socket <--> tmux command <==/ssh/==> ssh tmux
command
I'd initially envisioned something much more complicated involving ssh tunnels,
like:
tmux server <--> local socket <==/ssh tunnel/==> remote 'mirror' of
local socket <--> tmux command
(I've no idea if that one above is actually possible/meaningful)
Things get more fun if you want to do something like: tmux split-window "exec
vim"
The "exec vim" gets called the tmux server on the local machine, so you need to
do:
remote$ ssh local tmux split-window "exec ssh -t remote vim"
Which actually does what you expect, with a few minor differences (eg. cwd of
vim is $HOME)

ps. also keep in mind what Jim wrote earlier - unless you're calling this stuff
from a script,
it's probably much easier to do:
<tmux-prefix> : command
