Thank you for the tips.
I tried them to backup my compact flash. But the speed is very slow. I did
try both ways, dd to /tmp and then scp (Erich's way) and dd on the fly using
ssh (Charles' way). In both cases it took about 5 minutes to either 'scp' or
'dd-over-ssh' 64M.
In case of 'scp', I think it could be the fact that my /tmp is 99% full
after dd to it. But I do not understand why 'dd-over-ssh' is also slow.
Could it be anything wrong with my setup?

It works with the standard command-line ssh. There are versions that run
on
windows, both native and as part of Cygwin. These should work. Putty
probably won't.

Yes, but you'd probably want to do this on your host system, not the
router
(assuming your router is probably not a high-powered box), ie:
ssh my.router.ip dd if=/dev/fd0u1680 | gzip -9 >disk.img.gz

I don't think you can play tricks like this with scp...
