Comment on SSH tricksparentComments−msmith14yI'm not sure how it compares in performance, but I've always used scp -r for this: $ scp -r remote foo /where/to/unpack−loeg14yscp has some end-to-end latency for each file transferred. This means that for lots of small files, a single tar file stream is much quicker than 'scp -r'.
