If you want a simple rsync then you can do
rsync -av /usr/local/apache/htdocs/ -e root at 1.2.3.4:/var/www/html/htdocs/

If you want to to compress it first then do

tar zcvf htdocs.tar.gz /usr/local/apache/htdocs
rsync -av /usr/local/apache/htdocs/htdocs.tar.gz -e
root at 1.2.3.4:/var/www/html/htdocs/
