I have lots of room on a remote server.  But I want to encrypt  
certain dirs first, and then send them off-site.

I figured out that I can use the gpgtar command which is part  
of GnuPG.

eg. for a situation were I want to send the content of a  
directory c:\data\secret, the corresponding command could be,

c:\temp> gpgtar -C c:\data -e -r august secret | winscp etc..

...but I haven't tested winscp yet.

However, gpgtar can output to a pipe, so | would be ok.
