cat was problably the most confusing hostname to use :-)
Anyway in general anything passed after the hostname
is run on the remote host.
This is a very efficient way to copy a tree
from one place to another.
tar cjf - dir1 | ssh host "cd dir2; tar xjf -"
for a local LAN, this would probably be quicker:
tar czf - directory | ssh -c blowfish host "cd dir; tar xzf -"
