+<b>How to move data by ssh and tar</b>
+
+Sometimes you have a lot of files to transport and you don't want or can't make
+archive files. So the solution could be to transport our files by first make
+a tar archive of it and than scp it to the other site.
+
+The first one is from the destination server to ssh to the source server
+
+  ssh user@server "tar czpf - /data" | tar xzpf - -C /new/data
+
+The second example is from the source server to the destination. This example
+is a little bit more like the dataflow.
+
+  tar cpf - /data | ssh user@server "tar xpf - -C /new/data/"
