A sftp special remote would be nice because gpg operations could be
|
|
|
|
|
pipelined to the network transfer, not requiring the creation of a full
|
|
|
|
|
file to disk with gpg before the network transmission, as it happens with
|
|
|
|
|
the rsync special remote.

There should be some libraries that can handle the sftp connections and
|
|
|
|
|
transfers. I read that even curl has support for that.
