I think it's time to advertise this one again:
ftp.funet.fi:/pub/unix/security/login/ssh/ssh-1.2.21.tar.gz
ssh is a package for secure, encrypted, authenthicated and possibly
compressed remote program execution, remote login and file transfer. You
can enable and disable encryption, authenthication and compression one at
a time.
./configure --with-none (so that the 'none' encryption is included
- it will not be included by default)
Then... use it for RSA authenthication only, disable encryption (either
the '-c none' command line parameter or the 'Cipher none' directive in the
configuration files). ssh also does stream compression using zlib
(with the same algorithm as gzip)...
The ssh package also includes scp, which is an equivalent of rcp, but
with the ssh encryption, compression and authenthication methods.
A couple of examples on ssh which would do the trick you wanted to do:
scp zImage machine2.ampr.org:/vmlinuz
ssh machine2.ampr.org "/sbin/lilo"
or...
cat zImage | ssh machine2.ampr.org "cat > /vmlinuz; /sbin/lilo"
