I think you need to run the commands at the destination in a sub-shell at the destination (replace the single quotes with parenthesis)
may do what you require, but I don't have four machines to test this with, have tried it between two and it works.
And the reason the originating tar doesn't complete is probably because it is waiting for input from the command line (tar cf -) for the files you wish to archive. to close it you need a CTRL-D in the input stream, or give it a list, or a toplevel directory (tar cf - /top/level/directory/)

Reason: clarification and correction
How can one find the name and size of files ftp'ed during an old ftp transfer.
Is there any log where these details are stored or any UNIX command which can provide these details.
Thanks in advance. (4 Replies)

Hi all,
When using netcat to transfer the data over socket, if no connection is established, how long will netcat keep the data; will it discard the "oldest" data ?
Say for example I use "Some Command | netcat -l -p port", the command I use will generate a lot of output constantly, while no... (2 Replies)

Hi,
I'm trying to set up scp but it isn't as nice as WinSCP. My requirement is to transfer a file from one machine to another with scp. This would run in a .ksh so it would need to avoid prompts (password/are you sure). First I tried this with v2: SSH with Keys HOWTO: SSH with Keys in a console... (1 Reply)

Hi all,
VLC goes all SWOD on me today, so naturally I try to force quit the process.
Nothing.
Drop into Terminal and run ps ax | grep vlc,

I have a pretty demanding requirement for an SFTP script I have been trying to put together.

virt-tar-out
virt-tar-out(1) Virtualization Support virt-tar-out(1)NAME
virt-tar-out - Pack a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball.
SYNOPSIS
virt-tar-out -a disk.img /dir files.tar
virt-tar-out -d domain /dir files.tar
virt-tar-out -d domain /dir - | gzip --best > files.tar.gz
DESCRIPTION
"virt-tar-out" packs a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball.
The first parameter is the absolute path of the virtual machine directory. The second parameter is the tar file to write. Use "-" to
write to standard output.
EXAMPLES
Download the home directories from a guest:
virt-tar-out -d MyGuest /home - | gzip --best > homes.tar.gz
JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-out" command. For anything more complex than a trivial
copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.
OPTIONS
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.
