Don't use -out with xwd unless you want it to save to a file. Its default
is stdout.
Also xwd used like that is interactive. To make it not be interactive use
the -id switch. Use the "xlsclients -l" command to list the window IDs.
Then instead of scp, use SSH instead.
Here is an example:
xwd -id 0x440000d | ssh 192.168.1.4 "cat > xwd.out"
(Note that the > is in the quotes!)
On my remote system:
$ file xwd.out
xwd.out: XWD X Window Dump image data, "xterm", 484x316x24
Have fun!
