Shalom dipesh,

Since rsh is being deprecated and not part of the standard Linux install, though you can still use it, take the above command and use ssh instead.

If the system is recent (the last 5 years) the command will work after a password prompt.

You can use tar over ssh tunnel:

tar -czf - | ssh tar -xzf - -C
