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.

virt-tar-out

virt-tar-out(1) 					      Virtualization Support						   virt-tar-out(1)

NAME

       virt-tar-out - Pack a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball.

SYNOPSIS

	virt-tar-out -a disk.img /dir files.tar

	virt-tar-out -d domain /dir files.tar

	virt-tar-out -d domain /dir - | gzip --best > files.tar.gz

DESCRIPTION

       "virt-tar-out" packs a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball.

       The first parameter is the absolute path of the virtual machine directory.  The second parameter is the tar file to write.  Use "-" to
       write to standard output.

EXAMPLES

       Download the home directories from a guest:

	virt-tar-out -d MyGuest /home - | gzip --best > homes.tar.gz

JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH

       This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-out" command.  For anything more complex than a trivial
       copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.

OPTIONS

       Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.

SEE ALSO

       guestfish(1), virt-cat(1), virt-copy-in(1), virt-copy-out(1), virt-edit(1), virt-tar-in(1), <http://libguestfs.org/>.
