| Please make yourself clear. If you are looking for compressed ssh connection, you can use "-C" option with ssh.
Eg: ssh -C 192.168.0.112

| koolnhot, if you are connecting to your server via SSH and want to tar something remotely, use these commands:
create file.tar and include file1 file2 file3 from the current folder:
tar -cf file.tar file1 file2 file3
create dir.tar and include the contents of dir1 and dir2 (recursive):
tar -cvf dir.tar dir1 dir2

| what you mean by that...are you looking for compress mode of ssh then ssh -C will work as supportpro suggested. otherwise
tar -cvf zip will help you out

| hi
I am looking to tar via ssh
and not in compressed mode of ssh
sorry for being un-clear earlier

| okay the you can do tar -xvf dir.tar dir and then to compress with gzip if you would like to have
g
gzip dir.tar
this will compress and easy and commonly used method. sometimes it seems t hat normal zip getting problems depends on diff versions.
