    Hallo!

    This would be futile anyway.
    There is a reason why the usage of tar and scp.

    In reference of below, that should work fine or simply choose for a scp
    without the tar e.g

    scp -prv /path/to/my-files user@remote-host:~/path/to/

    Could somebody explain me the explicit use of the pipe, scp and tar?

    Cheers Pat
