[Linux-disciples] scp'ing files to privileged locations

[Stephen R Laniel]

I want to scp/rsync a file to a location in /etc on a remote
machine. Is there any way to do that without going through
this two-step?

scp filename remoteMachine:
ssh -t remoteMachine 'sudo mv ~/filename /etc/foo'

Assume that connecting to root at remoteMachine is impossible.
