Note: This can be used for transferring trees; however, the process is more
automated in transfer_trees.csh 

   It is more efficient to use "ttcp" tunneling. I usually use it with "tar":

   1) on tw00: cd /foo/bar; ttcp -r | tar xvBf -
   2) on nunatak2: cd /foo/bar; tar cvBf - . | ttcp -t tw00.triumf.ca

   (In this example, I used nunatak2 for load balancing: nunatak1 we use for data
   archiving, nunatak3 I use for raw data transfers, leaving nunatak2 unused).

   Another method of avoiding ssh data encryption is by running "rsync" in server
   mode on tw00 or nunatak2.
