$ tar cf my_folder > my_folder.tar

You can then do

$ gzip my_folder.tar

to gzip it.

Subject: [suse-linux-uk-schools] archiving directories

Hello once more folks, i'm having a little trouble
archiving a large number of folders with one simple
command & keeping that folder structure intact. I
noticed in midnight commander you can do a folder
distribution in a tar.gz format but it doesn't appear
to perform anything. Gzip doesn't appear to do deal
with folders according to the command line listing at
least. :(

Anyone out there with the knowledge? i'm still too
much of a sith to understand these things! ;)
