guys, I followed this tutorial http://library.linode.com/linode-platform/migration/copy-disk-image-over-ssh

and when I run the command

Code:

ssh root@12.34.56.78 "dd if=/dev/xvda " | dd of=/home/archive/linode.img

I get a 1KB file on my PC named linode.img, when I open that file I find this text:

Code:

Unknown command 'dd if=/dev/xvda'

What could be the problem?
