Hey there, Here's a command that I use dump -0aunL -f - / | gzip -2 | ssh -p 182 matt at 192.168.0.1 "dd of=/home/matt/usb_hdd/mail.err.lv/dump.root.l0.gz" problem is, when ssh asks for password, it is fed a piped output from previous commands, not allowing me to enter a password for connection. What am I doing wrong? :) Cheers, Matt
