Or you could not use cat; eg:

   tar -czf - Jira/ | ssh root at diamond dd of=/misc/Jira.tgz

dd's useful for when you're trying to use sudo too. If you don't
have priveleges to do:

   find blah >/root/blah-contents.txt

you can rewrite it as:

   find blah | sudo dd of=/root/blah-contents.txt

Also, using dd gives you geek cred!
