what does "file archive.tar.gz" show in terminal ? The file may be damaged or corrupt.

Well, if it is a .tar and not a .tar.gz, you should use "tar -xf". HTH Vitor

Recently I learned that tar recognizes the compression format automatically (apparently, since v1.15 released on 2004-12-20). So yeah, `tar xf' is enough for any archive, compressed or otherwise. :p
