I find it incredibly interesting that, while you REFUSE SPECIFY  
exactly what you want, you find it necessary to deem certain commands  
unacceptable! No one is going to freaking spoon feed you this stuff!  
What you just pasted will do basically THE SAME THING as tarring and  
scping it over, so what's the problem? The only difference is there  
is no intermediate tar file. If that's what you wanted, why can't you  
just SAY THAT?!
