: How about (assuming that you can rsh on the other-machine) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : tar cfp - /from/where/it/starts | (rsh other-machine tar xvfp -)
This rsh thing is very nice, ASSUMING THAT YOU CAN RSH ON THE OTHER-MACHINE. ---> rsh -l remote_user_name remote_host ASKS FOR A PASSWORD and gives a shell, that's ok. ---> rsh -l remote_user_name remote_host date gives just a Permission denied. :-(. Is there a way to make rsh ask for a password in this case? with the needed entry in ~/.rhosts ---> rsh -l remote_user_name remote_host date gives an innocent but annoying error message: stdin: is not a ttystty: standard input: Invalid argument Thu Jul 25 09:08:51 MET DST 1996 -Andreas -- Uni Wuppertal, FB Elektrotechnik, Tel/Fax: (0202) 439 - 3009 Dr.-Ing.
