To me it looks like you have a more general problem

What are you trying to achieve? My first guess is recursively
copy a user's home directory to a target machine.

Put a thick fat *D*O*N*T* on setting PermitRootLogin=yes in sshd_config,
that opens pandora's box.

Assuming my above guess is correct, try this:

# tar czf - -C ~LOCAL_USER . | ssh REMOTE_USER at TARGET tar xzf - -C TARGET_DIR

it'll ask you for REMOTE_USER's password.
