If you want to use 7z with a password, over ssh, by default the password will be displayed! Suppress it with ssh -t. I don't know why. Here's the relevant section of the man page for ssh.

     -t      Force pseudo-terminal allocation.  This can be used to execute arbitrary screen-based programs on a remote machine, which
             can be very useful, e.g. when implementing menu services.  Multiple -t options force tty allocation, even if ssh has no
             local tty.
