What "ssh commands" are you using? My guess is that they are commands that can be run from any UNIX command line, and you just happen to be using SSH to execute them.

Get a manual on 'tar', and one on 'gzip' for info on the "tar.gz" file format. One way to do it is this:
Code:
tar cf - mydir/ | gzip > mydir.tgz

This will compress the "mydir" directory and store in a "tgz" file. To decompress,
Code:
gzip -dc mydir.tgz | tar xf -

       You  are  Pacman,  and  you  are  supposed  to eat all the small dots to get to the next level. You are also supposed to keep away from the
       ghosts, if they take you, you lose one life, unless you have eaten a large dot, then you can, for a limited amount of time, chase  and  eat
       the ghosts. There is also bonus available, for a limited amount of time. An X gives just points, but a little pacman gives an extra life.

       You use either keyboard or mouse. Default from start is keyboard.

       Keyboard mode: To move use arrows, to quit, press q, to use mouse, press m.

       Mouse mode: To move, move mouse, to quit, press RButton, to use keyboard, press LButton.

       Details: When pacman has moved to a new place, if you want it to change it's moving direction, hit key/move mouse until it has moved.
