    In addition to this, w/o "no-pty", the ssh channel behaves like a "real
    tty", where both stderr and stdout use a single output stream. The tar
    archive that you are writing on your local system will therefore also
    contain the (verbose) output of your tar command. With no-pty, the ssh
    client on the local side offers both output channels.
