Many ways to skin a cat...
Kumarjit, this really depends on the OS and way the remote directory is accessed.

For instance if you mount a remote windows box, I strongly recommend using gvfs to mount the remote local directory and file roller to decompress.

If it is a unix box, there are a few options. One would be to simply mount the remote file system.

In my example I create a directory underneath my operational directory, the directory is called "remote".
Next ..
Code:
echho 'test' > test.txt
tar -pczf name_of_your_archive.tar.gz test.txt
ls
name_of_your_archive.tar.gz  remote  test.txt

If the objective is to now deflate into remote...
Code:
cd remote
tar -zxvf ../name_of_your_archive.tar.gz
ls
test.txt

If it is not locally mounted you can use still other approaches.

Please help me on this regard.

Thanks
