IS there a module / method for ?

[Vinay T.S.]

I wanted to know if there is any module or method in an existing module
for

a) transfer a directory tree from one machine to another

I could use

tar xvf - <top_dir_of_source> | rsh target_machine " cd <target_dir> ; tar
cvf - )

wanted to do this , using an existing method instead .

Thanks
Vinay
