One way of "interpreting" it in a non-confusing manner would be to
disallow double-clicking  in /#sh to execute a program, but allow it to
"open" a file..

You could add a menu option that is only selectable for a selected
executable file in a /#sh system..

The menu option would be:  execute remotely 
or something like that..

ie.  have a distinct way to specify "execute remotely"
