Small script to tar and send over SSH for large compressed files. Rsync is too slow.

echo "Transferring from $IN_DIR to $OUT_DIR on $REMOTE"

ssh "$REMOTE" "mkdir -p $OUT_DIR"

for file in "$IN_DIR"; do
	echo "Transferring $file"
	tar -cp -C "$IN_DIR" "$file" | ssh -c arcfour "$REMOTE" "cat > $OUT_DIR/$file.tar"
done
