SSH from Mac to Ubuntu Server won't allow me to perform same commands

I have set up a Ubuntu Server on a separate computer which has Apache, PHP, MySQL, SQLite, Ruby, and Rails installed. If I am locally on the server and attempt to create a new rails application I use "rails new name_ofproject". Everything works fine and the project is created.

When I ssh from terminal to my server, I can access everything, view the files, but if I attempt to create a new rails application using the same command "rails new name_ofproject" I recieve this:

exists  
      exists  app/controllers
      exists  app/helpers
      exists  app/models
      exists  app/views/layouts
      exists  config/environments
      exists  config/initializers
      exists  config/locales
      exists  db
      exists  doc

overwrite config/initializers/session_store.rb? (enter "h" for help) [Ynaqdh] 

I am pretty new to all of this. Any ideas or suggestions would be very helpful. I assume this may just be a permission thing. Ideally I would like to be able to ssh to my sever and perform the same tasks as if I were locally on my server.

It seems to me that the command had been run on that machine once before and that the files it wanted to create were already there.

You can try to reproduce that by attempting to call rails new name_ofproject on your local machine twice consecutively with the same project name. If it shows the same message, then I guess the soultion would probably be to delete the old files on the server machine and try again.
