SSh is a full bidirectional pipe, connected to the remote process. You can
use any kind of redirection you like
< ... commands ... > | ssh user@host <scriptname>
ssh <file user@host <scriptname>
getclip | ssh user@host <scriptname> | putclip
You might like to check the man page of those last two commands while you're
at it ;-)
*doubletake* Err, I mean, you might like to check the --help output from
them. Couldn't find any documentation anywhere.
