Large file transfer

[Tom Buskey]

For another data point, I've been working on a low key DR setup.

tar | gzip | gpg | ssh server

The server does a dd > file.tar.gz.gpg.  The file is determined by the 
key supplied by the client.

The server is running Red Hat 8 kernel 2.4.18 and ext3 file system on an 
intel PIII 750.

The clients are running RH 7.0 and Windows 2000 with cygwin.  I've 
created files up to 26GB on the server this way.
