Don't. Tarpipe it.
ssh user@host tar cjf - files/to/archive > backup.tar.bz2
This will build the tarball on the remote side and send the results to your system, where it gets put into a file called "backup.tar.bz2".

Drop the
jand the.bz2then, so that it doesn't produce any files on the remote system. Apr 24, 2011 at 15:54
GNU split if you have to. Tar it to one archive and then use this command.

The main problem is that I haven't any roots for edit privilages on my hosting. And when I make an archive I get an error: "Filesize limit exceeded: 25"– AnthonyApr 24, 2011 at 13:39

@Anthony That's a problem. You would have to make a lot of archives and give them out. This wouldn't be nice. And by the way, if it's a backup of all your stuff, can't you ask the admin? Apr 24, 2011 at 13:51

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible. If anybody doesn't help me, then will try to ask the admin...– AnthonyApr 24, 2011 at 14:03
