Ok cool I can pipe ls into gz and pipe further into scp. Now what? How do I use it on the receiving end after unzipping it again? You still have to parse it into a structural list of files over there somehow to make use of it? Not everything is a tunnel. Structural data can still be serialized easily, take json for example which’s spec fit on a napkin.
