If you want to keep it as a .tgz, then why not use tar in the first
place (instead of find | cpio) ?
I did this and it worked fine:
# cd /local/path/to/be/tarred
# tar czf /tmp/1.tgz .
# scp /tmp/1.tgz myuserid@hostname.com:/full/path/to/remote/tarball.tgz
I did try:
# tar czf - . ; scp -
myuserid@hostname.com:/full/path/to/remote/tarball.tgz
but that did horrible things to my terminal, so don't do it :)
To create the archive on a remote box, then fetch it back, try this:
# ssh myuserid@hostname.com "tar czf /tmp/1.tgz
/remote/path/to/be/tarred"
# scp myuserid@hostname.com:/tmp/1.tgz /full/path/to/local/tarball.tgz
You can also do scp between two remote hosts, I believe, but I have
never tried it.

Patrick O'Reilly.
