Ok, this is driving me crazy, I want to tar a bunch of dirs/files/etc and
port it through ssh on linux.
I tried tar -cvf - | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and it doesn't work
I tried the above with "dd of=/home/user/backup"
and it doesn't work.
tar -cvf -
doesn't seem to work at all, linux 2.2.17
tar -cvf * or . first command doesn't work,
second command creates a file called "backup" which is just a directory
list of all the files. useless!
this should be simple, but I can't get it working.
all I want is to have the tar file exist on the remote box.
