unzipping archives on the server?

[damn]

Hi there.
How can i unzip or, shall i say untargzip archive on the server?

[Andy]

You can do it from cpanel file manager
Click on file and at top right hand corner there will be an option to extract

You can also do it from a SSH "shell" connection ... just type "man tar" for the commands to do so, or Google "tar linux" for several sites showing the commands.

if you have a file name ending in gz(gzipped tar), then

tar -zxvf <tar file name>

if you have a file name ending in bz2(bzipped tar), then

tar -jxvf <tar file name>
