  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.

    cheers,
