If you have a file that you want to compress using gzip you can rund this comand at the linux shell when you are logged into your SSH session:
syntax

Code:

tar -cf - file_name | gzip -c > filename.tar.gz

Once you have ran this command, it will create a tarball file in the directory you have executed the command.

example

Code:

tar -cf - file_name | gzip -c > /home/myhome/filename.tar.gz

In this example it will create a filename.tar.gz in the directory /home/myhome
