gzip only compresses, it does not package up groups of files.

For that I recommend "tar".

For gzipped tar file the normal extension is either ".tar.gz" or ".tgz".

So use "tar" to package up the directory into one file, the gzip that tar file.


Code:
tar cf te55.tar te55 
gzip te55.tar

Yes

( as long as you transfer the file as "binary" )
