Copy a tar file from remote server

[Sanjay katiyar]

As I supply password for user tomcat it connects to
the remote server and start showing $ prompt.
If I logged off from remote machine then it lost the
connection and next command is not executed.

Actully I even dont want to supply passward manully,
Is there any way to automate all these steps in a
script file?

1. connect to remote machine using ssh
2. tar some dir 
3. copy that tar file to my local machine.

Thanks,
Sanjay
