Re: Using a pipe accross network with export/import

Hi,
 I don't think it would work that way.

 here is what I usually do.

 export into a named pipe on the source host,  on the target host, create another named pipe,  start import to read from that second pipe,

 start a remote shell from target on source that cat's the source pipe to stdout, and redirect that into the target pipe.
