As I've said, I solved this now.

The answer is I don't know, but suspect I can probably find some
information on how to do it. If you have any particular tips doing it on
a Sun I'd be interested. The computers in question are home computers
behind a firewall, with only a 56k dialup modem. Hence it's not a big
deal, although ssh can be configured to compress, which might make the
transfer faster. However, I do have a need to do this at work, so I am
interested in the process.
