d. I cannot get tar to pipe find'ed files to the remote server over ssh.
My current command line looks like this.
find / -name "*.conf" | xargs -t tar -zcvf - | ssh \
Why not: $rsync -avzP -e ssh -n --exclude-from=somefile /path/to/your/source ip:/path/to/remote
some file is: + *.conf - *.*
path to source is your directory from where you wan to export - say /home path to remote is target directory where home is to be compied - say / Note: no ending "/" This will do a dry run on the screen. Once you are satisfied with the files you are getting remove -n from above and the job will be done.
man rsync for details.
Sorry this went away from what you were attempting.
