Copy a tar file from remote server

[Sanjay katiyar]

I am trying to connect a remote machine thruogh ssh
and want to tar one directory and copy the tar file in
my local  machine. My script file looks like this
**************************
!/bin/sh
 
Date=`date -I`
 
ssh -l tomcat www.MyRemoteHost.net
 
tar -cvf /opt/tomcat4/MyDir/bk-$Date.tar
/opt/tomcat4/webapps/MyApp/

scp tomcat at www.MyRemoteHost.net:MyDir/bk-$Date.tar  .
**************************
When I run this script in my local machine it ask for
password of user tomcat, after supplying
the password it connects to the remote machine and
does not execute the rest of the commands.

Can any one suggest the right script?

Thanks in advance.

Sanjay
