	Hi.  I got a server that every so often needs to have several large files 
backed up via tar.  Problem is there also isn't enough local storage space 
to store the tar file while it's being written.  Enter FTP.  I was 
wondering if there is a way to export the tar file on the fly as its being 
written via FTP to a central storage server.  I could use samba of course, 
I'm sure, but neither server has samba and due to a number of reasons, 
we're not planning on adding samba to either system anytime soon.  So my 
only option is to either use a removable USB HD and sneakernet it over to 
the other server, or figure out a way to transfer it via FTP while it's 
being written.  Any suggestions?
