Perhaps that link wasn't as useful to you as I thought when I transmitted it. |

Here are a couple of other examples. I think it requires GNU tar. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
This compacts data recursively from /from/path and using gzip, pipes it |
| 20 |
through ssh and extracts it into /to/path: |
| 21 |
# tar -zcf - /from/path | ssh desktop.homelinux.com "tar -C /to/path -xzf -" |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
And this just pipes through ssh and extracts using bunzip2 to /to/path on |
| 24 |
remote machine |
| 25 |
# cat file.tar.bz2 | ssh desktop.homelinux.com "tar -C /to/path -xjf -" |
