[SunHELP] tar copy to remote box

[Chad Kellerman]

Markham,

    I don't use rsh too often but it may be easier with ssh:
example
cd /home

/usr/local/bin/tar -cfpz - ./ | ssh host '/usr/local/bin/tar -C /home
-xfpz -'

make sure the tar on the "to" server offers the z option in tar also. 
It may be better to use the full path
