    I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm a total noob... :eek:

    I'd like to create a tar.gz archive of a directory, and I'd like to keep the permissions of the files and directories in the tar.gz. How do I do it?

    tar -pczf name_of_your_archive.tar.gz /path/to/directory

    Simple Answer

    If you type

    tar --help

    on command line, it will show you all the options that you are allowed to do.
