piping over ftp

i have a backup machine i only have ftp access to. i want to backup a
lot of data. i can't tar it to a local file and then upload because i
dont have enough space locally. is there any way i could pipe the output
of tar to the remote server over ftp?

Have a look at ncftpput, that shows how you can do it in the synopsis
section in the manual page.
