File Transfer with SSH, Tee, and Base64

They mention that you can’t run commands without an interactive shell. I believe that knocks out your proposal because then rsync+ssh would work without all the complexity you have in your post with all the same benefits. Could be wrong though.

I see, I did miss that.

I do wonder if there's a workaround for that, though. "bash" has the "-l" option for "Make bash act as if it had been invoked as a login shell", and also "-i" forces interactive mode. For ssh, "-t" is "Force pseudo-terminal allocation"; would that work?

I don't follow. How would any of these option help?

The SSH gateway in between refuses to allocate PTY, so the -t option does not help.
