Can you ZFS send/recieve over NFS or does it have to be SSH?

So i was planning on not enabling SSH on my new server, but I may have run into a snag.

I have a main z2 pool on a server and a smaller non failsafe pool on my desktop. both in Linux, They share both ways over NFS as of right now the desktop pool has enough space to backup the server pool, I created a ZFS snapshot and tried to end it over NFS, but that did not work at least with the commands I tried. everything I looked at online stated send over SSH.

Is there a way to send over NFS?

user@Server:~$ su -
Password:
root@Server:~# zfs snapshot ServerPool/Dataset@Sep-20-23
root@Server:~# zfs list -t snapshot
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
ServerPool/Dataset@Sep-20-23 0B - 445G -
root@Server:~# zfs send ServerPool/Dataset@Sep-20-23 | zfs receive /mnt/Backup #(mountpoint of desktop pool on Server)
cannot receive: invalid name
root@Server:~# zfs send ServerPool/Dataset@Sep-20-23 | zfs receive DesktopPool/Backup
cannot open ‘DesktopPool’: dataset does not exist
cannot receive new filesystem stream: unable to restore to destination
root@Server:~# zfs send ServerPool/Dataset@Sep-20-23 | zfs receive 192.168.1.11:/mnt/DesktopPool/Backup
cannot open ‘192.168.1.11:/mnt/DesktopPool’: dataset does not exist
cannot receive new filesystem stream: unable to restore to destination

NFS is not a protocol which can be used to pipe content between processes.

In order to do this, you’d need to capture the output of zfs send and store that in a file on a shared NFS filesystem, then run zfs receive on the other system, reading from that file.
