When transfering files from one ssh mounted volume to another remote ssh accessed volume, wouldn't it be possible to issue an sftp command directly from one remote host to the other ? This would allow much faster file transfer between remote disks I guess...

The same idea could be applied for remote files compression / decompression, at least using the tar/gzip method.

The only OS X application I know that does this at present times is RBrowser but it would be a dream for me (and others I suppose) to be able to achieve this right from PathFinder for exemple...

Hope you'll find some interest in this idea ;-)
