    Does anyone know how I would zip up an entire directory's files one by one with one command?

    For instance. If the directory has 200 files how would I zip each one separately using ssh.

    zip is user friendly for a wider audience than tar/rar/etc.
    In any event, if you want to gzip each file individually rather than zip them.

    find . -type f -exec tar -cvzf '{}.gz' '{}' \;
