Re: SSH1 and large files on 32-bit platforms

If the files are large you may want to compress them first to save bandwidth:

tar cf - directories | compress | ssh remotehost 'uncompress | tar xf -'

You must quote the remote commands for this to work.

You care replace compress/uncompress with any other utility like bzip2/bzcat or whatever.
