Faster scp with tar

scp using tar:

Following sequence retrieves data from remote server immediately without need to store compressed tar to file.

ssh root@server tar -c /www/domain.com | tar -x

Following sequence sends local data via ssh to the remote server.

tar -c /www/domain.com | \
ssh root@server cd /www/domain.com '&&' tar -x
