When I down load some scripts often times they are packed in a tar.gz format. I know how to upload those to the server and unpack them. There are things that I dont understand though.<br /><br />Sometimes when I click a link to download a tar.gz file, the file actually downloaded is tar.tar. I have not been able to unpack those. What is the difference?<br /><br />Also, I only know how to unpack them via cpanel. Is there a program that I can use to unpack them on my home pc?<br /><br />Thanks<!--content-->
Winrar I believe will unpack them correctly (you can google to find it pretty easy).<br /><br />.tar.tar may be ungziping the file for you when you download it, so it may just be a .tar file (but it gets an extra extension on it during the download).<!--content-->
Winrar will do it. You can download it at ht*p://www.rarlab.com/download.htm.<!--content-->
