Another way:

On source machine w/the files:

tar cvpf - ./directory | plug remote_machine_name 12345

On destination machine:

plug 12345 | tar xvpf -


The source code for plug.c was written by Todd Whitesel.  The port number
12345, above, is arbitrary; it just needs to be some port not already in use.
