Why don't you copy the files first and tar them locally? Directories can be copied with scp -r [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/remote/directory /path/to/local/directory This will copy /path/to/remote/directory including it's content and subdirectories to /path/to/local/directory, which you could tar later. > NOTE: i do NOT want to use NFS. Why not? This would make things easier (methinks...). If you are concerned about security or so, just export the directory for the time necessary to complete the job, then shut down NFS again. Maybe someone else knows a bit more about ssh. You can forward tcp ports, and such things. Maybe you can pipe the tar output into another program that can be forwarded through such a tunnel. This is something for experts, not for me... joerg -- Gib GATES keine Chance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
