If you want to tar some files and use ssh to copy the tar file to another
machine:
tar cf - sourcefiles | ssh othercomputer 'cat > /path/to/tarfile.tar'
If you want to tar some files and use ssh to untar them on another
machine:
tar cf - sourcefiles | ssh othercomputer 'cd /path/to/put/files; tar xvf
-'
