Morpheus thanks for the step-by-step guide! That seems to be working!!

Now, if I want to tar only a few directories and not all, how can I do that?

So if I have directories dira, dirb, dirc, diry and dirz
and I want to tar only dira, dirb and dirc, how do I do that? Cos their are some directories having 2 gigs of file that I dont want to tar and transfer.

Is there a function like -
tar -cpf backup.tar dira + dirb + dir c
or preferably
tar -cpf backup.tar * - dirz -diry
?

P.S. I confirmed that my server doesnt support fxping
