Re: how to use tar with scp

If you just want to save a tar saveset as a file, then replace the
'tar -xf -' part with a simple 'cat >filename.tar' after the 'cd' part.

E.g:

tar -pczf - /home/admin | ssh 10.10.10.6 "(cd /dump; cat >archive.tar)"

You have the ssh command issuing a remote 'cd' command, but there is
nothing running at the other end to catch and process the stream of
tar data being produced at the source.  Try this instead:

   tar -pczf - /home/admin | ssh 10.10.10.6 "(cd /dump; tar -xf -)"
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^
                                                      add this in
