AFAIK it is along the line wit "site exec tar cvzf -rsh-command blafasel host:tar.tgz" Of course there should be no tar binary in the site exec directory, therefore I wonder where the problem ist... But I guess a strip down binary version of tar together with a striped down binary version of ls (both static) would be a nice idea to be included in wu-ftpd package.
