Just to amplify that a bit, with $ representing the shell prompt:

to create a tarball:
$ tar -cvzf name_of_archive_to_create directory_to_send

That will show you the files in "directory_to_send" being wrapped up. If
it's only one file at a time, just give the filename. Use a relative path,
not an absolute one, so you can restore anywhere you want.

To unpack, cd into the directory you want to use, and execute
$ tar -xzvf name_of_archive_to create

If you don't want to see all the filenames, omit the "v" option. The "f"
option must be the last thing before the filename.

HTH.
