Hi
I have a process that creates 'some data' and outputs this to standard out and i want to shift this data over ssh to a remote box without ever writing anything locally. I have been experimenting with tar to create the archive as the i dont know what the contents of 'some data' might be so i just need to capture it and output it on the other side.
I have been trying with
$ tar czf - . | ssh -q 192.168.122.2 "tar xzf -"
and this works fine to create an archive of this '.' directory and pipe that over to the other side but i want to take standard out so....
$ tar czf - `the thing that generates standard out here` | ssh -q 192.168.122.2 "tar xzf -"
Would that work or is there a better way to get this over to the other side? It needs to be a data stream though so things like scp and rsync are no good and i need to know what the command is on the remote side being run so that i can restrict this in the ssh public key on the remote side.
Why not just do
`the thing that generates standard out here` | ssh -q 192.168.122.2 dd of=somethin
eg
find . | ssh -q 192.168.122.2 dd of=find.out
You don't need tar for anything.
