clifoo 3: use ssh and tar for secure transfer

in

The following will transfer a folder called openbsd_test from snoopy to droopy. The transfer will be secure by ssh and compressed/decompressed on the fly by tar and gzip. The decompression is redirected to /srv/vmware/ to prevent filling up my home directory.

snoopy vmware$ tar -zcf - openbsd_test/ | ssh droopy tar -zxvf - -C /srv/vmware/
