[CentOS] remote tar via ssh

Salam,

Its a normal scenario, when u access machine B from machine A, any utility
you
are using like ssh, rsync, or what machine B is acting as server for u....
so on client
side simple rsync is installed, on server side u have to use some
rsync-server package is
required.
