Hi All,

gtar -xvzf <filename>

The gtar gets us till the end and throws the error message as highlighed below

mfcp/XFHFCD2.CPY
mfcp/XFHFCD3.CPY
mfcp/XFHFCD.CPY

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
gtar: Unexpected EOF on archive file

Could anyone help us to know the kind of problem here.

Thanks in advance..
