[CLUE-Tech] Moving files from one system to another

[Keith Hellman]

Do the following in the root of the directory you want the contents
transferred out of/into (on both boxes, destination and source).
You can obviously provide additional tar commands
at your own discretion, and this assumes you've got networking up.
 
destsys>nc -l -p 5000 |tar xzpf -
srcsys>tar czf - ./ |nc DESTSYS_IP 5000

nc is the all powerful 'netcat' program.  It's sometimes available as
'netcat' instead of 'nc'.  Do nc -h for option details.

I like the above approach because you don't have to:
* be admin on both boxes
* fuss with nfs
* fuss with .rhosts, ssh keys, or the phase of the moon...
* fuss with anything, it simply does what-cha want ;^)
