on the desktop
                # cd /desktop/work
                # tar -cf- * > all.tar
                # cat all.tar | nc -l -p 5555

on the MU

                # nc server-host-name 5555 > all.tar

After very long time (if all.tar is not chaning anymore), the transfer
is finished.

Now you can un-tar the all.tar in the DOS:

                # cd /DOS
                # tar -zf /where/is/all.tar
