   I have been doing this since before ssh and scp, but more often:   
      
   tar cf - . | rsh somewhere '(cd somedir; tar xf - )'   
      
   (on a local net so compression wasn't needed) or:   
      
   tar cf - . | compress | rsh somewhere dd of=/dev/tape obs=30k   
      
   to write compressed data on a remote tape drive.   
   (again, before scp and ssh).
