That is the basis for hydraulics.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "conventional sense."

Nothing can transmit a force without some deflection. Some molecules in
the fluid have to move in order to generate a force and typically
movement of a fluid, however minute, is flow.


One does not generally refer to compression as flow.

A fluid can transmit force without molecules flowing from the
point of origin to the point of application.
