Secure file transfers

[Gregor Mosheh]

I had a similar, perhaps related question. I'm making
backups via tar to a SMB server, but I would rather
use sftp/scp for it (the NAS supports both SMB and
scp/sftp).

I don't have enough disk space to make the backup to a
tarchive and then scp that tarchive. Is there a way to
make scp/sftp read from a pipe or stdin, rather than
specific filenames? The docs haven't mentioned it, but
since the subject came up I thought it worth asking...
