Notice you want to supply the .tar.gz suffix yourself.

Then on the receiving server server there’s a slight trick to unpacking it: its actually a tarball *within* a tarball thats then gzipped. It also doesn’t create a subdirectory for itself so it’ll explode all over the dir you’re in when you type the tar command.
