Look into "man rsync".  Rsync makes tar-ring unnecessary.

It's best to use rsync <http://rsync.samba.org/> through ssh.

     rsync -avr --rsh=ssh <source-directory>/
     <user@host-in-dmz>/<dest-directory>/

     <dest-directory> must exist.

     To erase files in destination that don't exist anymore in
     source, use the --delete , use it with the -n option first to
     see what it will erase.
