If you just want to

You don't need tar on the other end - you just want to save
the output to a file:
tar -cf - . | ssh remote_machine 'cat >/path/to/file.tar'
"\ssh" please.
I have an alias set for ssh to expand ssh to "ssh -t" and that destroys
tarballs.
"\ssh" always works.
Howver, this sends everything every time. See my earlier post for a
better way.
