We're upgrading from v8.4 to 9.6 on a new VM in a different DC. The

Thus, how can I send the pg_dump file directly to the new server while
the pg_dump command is running? NFS is one method, but are there
others (netcat, rsync)? Since it's within the same company, encryption
is not required.
Maybe?:
pg_dump -d test -U postgres -Fc | ssh aklaver@arkansas 'cat > test_cat.out'
That looks promising. I could then "pg_restore -jX".
More promising would be the suggestion from Michael Nolan:

"Can you run pg_dump on the new server, connecting remotely to the current
one?"
It eliminates two programs(ssh and cat) and a pipe.
Is that supported?
