How to send a continuous stream through ssh

  • 772

Given a named pipe, how can I send a continuous stream of this pipe through ssh?

The netcat equivalent of what I am looking for is

  • from client

    dd if=myfifo | nc -l 12345

  • from server 

    nc <client IP> 12345 > stream
ssh video-streaming stream

    cat source.data | ssh ${hostname} 'cat > destination.data'

    Alternatively:

    ssh ${hostname} 'cat > destination.data' < source.data
