How to transfer file on remove host using tar, rsync over SSH?


a. Copying files from remote machine to your local machine

$ ssh user@remote_server "tar -czpf - /files/to_copy" | tar -xzpf - -C /files_to_extract
$ ssh filetran@goyouk "tar -czpf - /opt/datafile" | tar xzpf - -C /opt/importfile

b. Copying files from your machine to your remove machine.

$ tar -cXpf - /Files/To_transfer | ssh user@what_machine_to_transfer "tar -xpf - -C /where?to_transfer
$ tar -cXpf - /opt/datafile | ssh filetran@baypak "tar -xpf - -C /opt/exportfile

Without compression,
$tar -cf - /opt/datafile | ssh remote_host tar -xf - -C /destination

with compression,
$ tar -czf - /opt/datafile | ssh remote_host tar -xzf - -C /destination

if you have ssh key set up, you can use,
$ tar -czf - /opt/datafile | ssh remote_hostname tar -xzf - -C /some/destination

To copy locally within the server,

$ tar cf - /opt/datafile | (cd /export/data/tab; tar xf -)

Using rsync

rsync -e ssh [-avz] /some/file [ more ... ] host.name:/destination/file
rsync -e ssh /opt/dd_data remove_host:/opt/dd_data

-or-

rsync -ave ssh source_server:/path/to/source /destination/dir
