How to extract archive via network

sluge · 09-11-2013, 01:34 AM

Hello!
On server1 I have a archive.tar.gz file. I need to extract it using ssh to server2.
So, I write the commans:

# ssh server2 < archive.tar.gz | gunzip -c | tar -xf - -C /home/

But I got an error:
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.

How to copy the file correctly?

Code:

ssh server2 < archive.tar.gz "tar -xzf - -C /home/"

assumes your tar can handle the decompression ( the z arg )
- on its own is read from stdin

if your tar doesn’t handle the decompression

Code:

ssh server2 < archive.tar.gz "gunzip - | tar -xzf - -C /home/"

Note, you probably won't need the - with the tar, since the | implies it
