Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users How to zip/tar millions of files? Post 302478662 by citaylor on Wednesday 8th of December 2010 01:14:04 PM

When you say somewhere else, I guess you mean a different server ?
I imagine the "gzip" and the ssl encryption in scp are both adding quite an overhead.

There is a tradeoff between network speed, cpu speed and disk speed. You may find it more efficient leaving out the gzip if you have a fast network. Also if you are not worried about security using "rsh" instead of "ssh/scp" will be quicker. Probably the quickest would be:
Code:
tar cf - my/path | rsh -l user host "cd /new/target; tar xfp -"

However if network speed is slower and you need security something like "rsync" with the "-z" option may be better for you.

NAME
cfgetospeed(), cfsetospeed(), cfgetispeed(), cfsetispeed() - tty baud rate functions SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
These functions set and get the input and output speed codes in the termios structure referenced by termios_p. The termios structure con- tains these speed codes representing input and output baud rates as well as other terminal related parameters. Setting the parameters on a terminal file does not become effective until is successfully called. returns the output speed code from the termios structure referenced by termios_p. sets the output speed code in the termios structure referenced by termios_p to speed. The speed code for a baud rate of zero, is used to termi- nate the connection. If is specified, the modem control lines are no longer asserted, which normally discon- nects the line. returns the input speed code from the termios structure referenced by termios_p. sets the input speed code in the termios structure referenced by termios_p to speed. RETURN VALUE
returns the output speed code from the termios structure referenced by termios_p. returns the input speed code from the termios structure referenced by termios_p. and return zero upon successful completion. Otherwise, they return -1 and set to indicate the error. ERRORS
and fail when the following condition is encountered: [EINVAL] The value of speed is outside the range of possible speed codes as specified in WARNINGS
and can be used to set speed codes in the termios structure that are not supported by the terminal hardware. SEE ALSO
