Quoting m. allan noah (anoah@pfeiffer.edu):

tar -cpSlvf - . | tar -xpSlf - -C /target/dir
Works for me.
Doing this can permit you to tar across hosts via rsh or ssh:
tar -cpSlvf - . | ssh -l root foo.bar.net 'tar -xpSlf - -C /target/dir'
which you can't do with cp unless you're using NFS.
Add compression to the tar pipeline (bzip or gzip) to go through a slow ppp connection.
Just for shit and giggles:
( tar -cpSlf - . || echo "local failed: $?" >&2 ) | bzip2 -9 | ssh -l root foo.bar.net 'tar -xpSlf - -C /target/dir || echo "remote failed: $?" >&2'
Regards,
Steve
