I don't get it. nc -l 8888 Doesn't make any encryption, right? If the answer is yes, then why they are compared here? Anyone on public network might snif

  yeh the title is misleading. They should compare with ftp.

  At the end: "tar/pigz/nc transfer is not secure Finally, there is one advantage that scp still holds: its transfer is secure while pigz/nc transfers data in clear text. So, if you are using unsecured networks, this option is probably not for you."

  You could try piping it through ssh, I don't know how that would effect the speed though. tar -cf - /u02/databases/mydb/data_file-1.dbf | pigz | ssh user@destination "pigz -d | tar xf - -C /"

    Yeah, but it will need executing commands on both hosts. SSH works on top of SCP and only needs running sshd on the remote host and access to that machine. All those solutions ( from the OP ) are faster, but you will need some setup, before you could use it from one host remotely and in the end you might end up using good old SMB or NFS which will give you speed ( http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/smb-vs-nfs-performance-4175502751/ http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/s... )

  You can pipe through GPG with the -c (--symmetric) flag. Using a reasonably efficient cipher (AES256) has negligible impact on speed and minor CPU usage. I do this with automated DB backups.
