Hi,
It is the basic unix what is the problem in our case
This is a simple e.g.
ls | ssh sampo "cat > test.ls"
I make ls in my current directory and the output is directed to
host called sampo and again to file named test.ls from standard input.
Then in case of tar this should be something like
tar cf - * | ssh hostname "cat > /my/tar/directory/tarfile.tar"
