I just wanted to add, as I played with tar and ssh yesterday,
that this should work as well (for copying all files on one
system to /mnt/disk on another system via ssh and tar)

tar -zc . | ssh [email protected] tar -zx -C destination

This one uses gzip for compression, and -C instead of "cd" to
select a directory. :)
