I'm looking at using "ssh" from the openssh package, to perform secure backups of large directories from a local server to a remote server as in the following command executed on the local server.
>tar -cf - ./test_dir | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] dd of=test_dir.tar Ie., I don't want to first create the tar file on the local system then use scp to copy it off, as there may not be enough disk storage on the local system to create the tar file. However, I cannot seem to find any way, for the above style of transfer using ssh, to do something like the "-l" option of scp to limit the amount of bandwidth used during the transfer. Does anybody know of a way? Thanks, Mark
