Try to use tar command with ssh.

tar -cf - /some/file | ssh host.name tar -xf - -C /destination

Use remsh for this...man remsh(1):

# remsh -n "cd /usr/local; tar xvf /testing/ ."

tar syntax for remote copy is

tar -pcvf - * | remsh server "cd /path ; tar -xvf -"

Thanks,

Hi PVR,

At local server run the script :

########################################
# untar tar file into a remote server.
########################################
tar -cvf testing.tar /testing
scp testing.tar remote_svr:/usr/local/
ssh remote_svr "cd /usr/local ; tar -xvf testing.tar"
echo " untar done .. pls check remote server /usr/local/testing/ directory "

########################################

Note: If ssh keygen is set , it can be done without interuption. Else need to provide passowrd as it prompts.

Cheers,
Raj.

Hi Pramod,

You can use one of the convenient methods mentioned above. But how your tar archive was created?

It is always good to create tar archives with relative path. When you have to restore a file to other location it can be done easily with such files.

Best Regards,
Devender
