 Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2003 3:35 pm Post subject: tarring over tcp |
 |
|
Hiya everyone!
Im intending to make a backup of a large directory over tcp, and though I could do this:
| Code: | tar zcpf backup.tar.gz /directory/to/bk
scp backup.tar.gz another.puter.com |
I dont have the space on my drive for this. So I was thinking of somehting like:
| Code: | destPuter# nc -lp 5000 |mimencode -u > backup.tar.gz
sourcePuter# ( tar -pzcv . | mimencode ; sleep 1 ) | telnet destPuter.domain.com 5000 |
I put the sleep in there since telnet doesnt seem to like data streaming in immediately...
Also mimencode to avoid the escape char ^]...
But I suspect that for large directories this wont work- the one second wait makes me think that it will have to be placed in memory. Does anyone have a better solution?

good idea- with quotes it worked
btw, I solved the problem using nc on the sending side, I didnt need to use the "sleep 1" command.
neuron: thanks for telling me about shfs! excellent module, I'll be using it alot
