Can the -d (--finaldir) argument be an IP address

[ghost]

Can the -d (--finaldir) argument be a remote machine IP address such as [email protected]:/mnt/hdd ?
Assuming SSH is set up.

I mount a windows shared folder via
sudo mount -t cifs -w -o username=UInput ’\ip\sharedfolder /mnt/shareddisk

you could do similar in Linux

Just use SSHFS and "mount" it as a local drive: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-sshfs-to-mount-remote-file-systems-over-ssh

I'm already using SSHFS to mount the drive but there is some overhead with encryption wondered if I could shave a few minutes off transfer time. I'm going to assume that the answer to my question is no then unless I hear otherwise. Thanks for replying.

Generally speaking you can't write a file to an IP address. Also, wouldn't ssh have encryption overhead similar to sshfs? There are however other tools such as https://github.com/ericaltendorf/plotman/ and https://github.com/rjsears/chia_plot_manager that provide features for transferring plots. There are also Swar and Harry Plotter, though I don't know what they provide for plot transfers.

I'm admittedly biased here, but I think it makes a lot of sense for the plotters themselves to just make a plot and stick it somewhere simple. Other tools can handle the various scheduling and completed plot management activities without making each plotter author have to deal with them all.

I've done this for my 100TB setup. All transfered over network without issue.
Keep in mind you might get some stale shares if your writing to a disk you are farming on.

sudo nano /root/.smbcredentials (add username and password for smb on two lines)
sudo apt install -y cifs-utils.
sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,vers=3.0,credentials=/root/.smbcredentials //192.168.0.10/sharename/folder /media/shareX/
