I had a similar, perhaps related question. I'm making
backups via tar to a SMB server, but I would rather
use sftp/scp for it (the NAS supports both SMB and
scp/sftp).
I don't have enough disk space to make the backup to a
tarchive and then scp that tarchive. Is there a way to
make scp/sftp read from a pipe or stdin, rather than
specific filenames? The docs haven't mentioned it, but
since the subject came up I thought it worth asking...
Hmm the other way round is easy enough,
scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:foo.tar.gz /dev/stdout | tar -ztf -
and either way with full ssh
tar -zcf - * |ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "cat > foo.tar.gz"
cat foo.tar.gz |ssh jhary:10.0.0.1 "tar -zxf -"
I hope some of this might help as i cant think of a way to do as you 
want.

Anything that is secure will require appropriate
software at both ends
of the transfer, and thus will require some sort of
security-aware
client on the customer's PC.
SFTP provides secure file transfers.  I use SecureFX
on my client
machine, and the standard SFTP server on the FreeBSD
server.
