That's what I was looking for - a single command I can run on the source machine. Thanks Alex. Just one more thing - what if I only want to store the tar of the source directory as an archive on the remote machine? In that case I'd want to stream the incoming data into a file instead of untarring it. -- Rgds Peter. Linux Counter 5290, 1994-04-23.
