How to create a Tar of multiple Files in Unix and FTP the tar to Windows.
Hi,

On my Unix Server in my directory, I have 70 files distributed in the following directories (which have several other files too). These files include C Source Files, Shell Script Source Files, Binary Files, Object Files.

a) /usr/users/oracle/bin
b) /usr/users/oracle
c) /home/oracle/local/csource
d) /home/oracle/local/dat


Query 1) I need to create a Tar File with all the 70 files (which are currently
scattered in the above 4 directories), as mentioned above. Also,
after creating the tar file, I need to ftp this tar file from the Remote
Unix Server to my Windows Desktop.
I tried using 'tar -cvf <filename>' but I could not succeed.

Query 2) Also, if you could please let me know, how I could tar all the files
which are in all the above 4 directories and not specific scattered
files(which I actually want).

Request you to please let me know, how I can do all the above.

Thanks a lot in advance.

With Best Regards,
Marconi.

   Database Package
       The database package is a complete installation for WordNet 3.0 users.  It includes the 3.0 database files, source  code  for  the  WordNet
       browsers and library, and documentation.  The other packages are not included - they must be downloaded and installed separately.

       Note  that  with  this  version	of  WordNet  for Unix platforms, only source code is provided.	Users should carefully read the README and
       INSTALL files for detailed information on compiling WordNet and dependencies.

   Prolog Database Package
       The WordNet 3.0 database files are available in this package in a Prolog-readable format.  Documentation  describing  the  file	format	is
       included.   This  package  is only downloadable in compressed tar file format, although once unpackaged it can be used from Windows systems
       since the files are in ASCII.  Many Windows utilities, such as WinZip, can deal with a compressed tar file.

   Sense Map Package
       To help users automatically convert 2.1 noun and verb senses to their corresponding 3.0 senses, we provide  sense  mapping  information	in
       this  package.	This  package  contains files to map polysemous and monosemous words, and documentation that describes the format of these
       files.  As with the Prolog database, this package is only downloadable in compressed tar format, but the files are also in ASCII.

NOTES

       The lexicographer files and grind(1) program are not generally distributed.

       All of the packages described above may not be available at the time of release of the 3.0 database package.
