Basically I want a "dd if=/dev/sda5 | ssh host 'cat > savefile'". I can easily do this with ssh or netcat. Someone mentioned using a FIFO but I have never done that... besides feeling that there should be an easier way. I couldn't figure out how to use ftp to "stream" the data into another program...
