Hello,
Sometimes I have a bunch of data that I want to transfer from source to
destination over ssh, but I want to tar it up on the way over (that is, I
don't have enough space on the source to create a tarball of the data and
then just scp the tarball over...)
I do that like this:
tar cf - /files | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "cat >
/usr/home/user/file_data2.tar"
or if I want to split it into multiple files:
tar cf - /files | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "split - -b 1024m
/usr/home/user/file_data2.tar"
This works just fine.

My question is, what if I want to initiate this process from the
destination machine ? In the above example, I am on the source machine,
and I ssh to the destination, making the tar files as it goes.
What if, instead, I am logged into the destination machine, and I want to
do the same thing - all from the destination machine ?
That is, I know that there is a directory /files on the source that I
want, and I have a login to ssh them to me, but I do not want to logon to
the source - I want to suck /files to me, but also tar them up on the way.
Is that possible ? rsync/rdist are not available. I need to do this over
ssh and tar, as in the above examples.
rsync would be a much better choice for your needs.

thanks!
