I had a similar, perhaps related question. I'm making backups via tar to a SMB server, but I would rather use sftp/scp for it (the NAS supports both SMB and scp/sftp).
I don't have enough disk space to make the backup to a tarchive and then scp that tarchive. Is there a way to make scp/sftp read from a pipe or stdin, rather than specific filenames? The docs haven't mentioned it, but since the subject came up I thought it worth asking... --- Anthony Atkielski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Danie Du Toit writes: > > > Which packages are available to upload /download > large dumpfiles in a > > secure fashion (e.g. using SSL).
