   I have lots of room on a remote server.  But I want to encrypt     
   certain dirs first, and then send them off-site.   
      
   I figured out that I can use the gpgtar command which is part     
   of GnuPG.   
      
   eg. for a situation were I want to send the content of a     
   directory c:\data\secret, the corresponding command could be,   
      
   c:\temp> gpgtar -C c:\data -e -r august secret | winscp etc..   
      
   ..but I haven't tested winscp yet.   
      
   However, gpgtar can output to a pipe, so | would be ok.
