Take another look at the tar docs. You got me curious, so I went and
looked and found that you can specify:
[HOSTNAME]:f when you specify the tar archive filename target.
I tested it and got:
#tar cjpf 192.168.177.2:test.tbz janina+paula.jpg
minuet.rednote.net: Connection refused
tar (child): 192.168.177.2\:test.tbz: Cannot open: Input/output error
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[root at concerto 20:04:18] pet#
So, there is a way. Obviously nothing is listening on Minuet, but that's
just a matter of learning how to set it up. Clearly, tar on concerto
tried to establish a connection--and even obtained the remote HOSTNAME
from the ip address.
