If you just want to gzip the file on the remote machine, just run

Code:

ssh root@remotemachine gzip /bksrv/ws02/ws02opt.tar

If you want the gzipped file on your local machine, I think you should be able to do this:

Code:

ssh root@remotemachine gzip -c /bksrv/ws02/ws02opt.tar >  ws02opt.tar.gz

explanation: gzip -c sends the compressed file to stdout, stdout is being sent by ssh to your local machine, and you are re-directing this to a file.
