1.604: How to move or copy whole directory trees across a network


The following command will move an entire directory tree across a network 
while preserving permissions, uids and gids.

      $rsh RemoteHost "cd TargetDir; tar -cBf - ." | tar -xvBf -

Explanation:

The tar-create is rsh'd to the remote system and is written to
stdout (the pipe).

The local system is extracting the tar that is being read from
stdin (the pipe).
