SSH Compress Commands

I am brand new to unix and am hoping someone can start me in the right direction.

I hope I have the right forum but if not can a moderator move this thread to the right area.

I am moving servers and need to back up a folder and its sub folders into a .tar.gz file then want to upload that file to my new server and decompress it.

I have used SSH to depress my sql databases without a problem because I found the commands to do that but I am lost with with backing up and compressing a folder and sub folders to a .tar.gz - I am not even sure if this is possible?

Can any one help me on this?
