Lightbulb server 2 server
I need to do this same thing (copy an entire directory from one server to another)

Did you get an answer? If so, what was it?

You can also mount a NFS filesystem from the other host to your local and do the traditional (in this case with Kornshell):

Or why not pipe trough rsh:

rsh "cd /directory&&tar cf - ."|(cd /localdirectory&&tar xvf -)

However if this needs some padding and fiddling depending on rsh/rshd implementations.

NFS mounting is my favorite way other than SSH to do this type of copy...

But i use this command... when I had to copy a 26GB filesystem...

From the tar manpage:::

cd fromdir ; tar cf - . | ( cd todir ; tar xf - )
