TAR How to
Okay, I have used tar (-xvf) quite a bit to unpack things. But I have never really used tar to pack things. What I would like to do is this: I have about 700 web pages that are generated from a template file and a perl script. This script takes awhile to run and can't be run on my web hosts site. It is a bit too processor intensive. So I generate the pages and upload them via ftp.
What I would like to do is to put them in a tar file and only upload that file, then I can SSH in and untar them. I have played around with tar and have read the man tar. So what would be the syntax if I wanted to tar a whole directory of files. Thanks.

Thanks, bud. I had the tar verbose and create down but I couldn't figure out the filename part.
