I hope this helps.
Thanks for the quick response!
1) okay, your saying that I have to find another installer that had been compressed in an AIX environment ant not in a .tgz format?
2) the weird thing is, I tried gunzip installer.tgz in another machine which is also AIX and it works. However when I try to > copy it to my local machine - success > ftp to my aix machine, it failed
+ btw, the method that I'm telnet to the AIX6.1 machine (64) is via putty.
