Hi, so I tried to use WinSCP to ftp the files. So i transfered the file to my AIX machine. Both from my pc and aix size were the same.

> then I tried the below at the aix (telnet)

Code:
# tar -zxvf Java5_64.sdk.tar.gz
tar: Not a recognized flag: z
Usage: tar -{c|r|t|u|x} [ -BdDEFhilmopRUsvwZ ] [ -Number ] [ -f TarFil e ]
           [ -b Blocks ] [ -S [ Feet ] | [ Feet@Density ] | [ Blocksb ] ]
           [ -L InputList ] [-X ExcludeFile] [ -N Blocks ] [ -C Directory ] File ...
Usage: tar {c|r|t|u|x} [ bBdDEfFhilLXmNopRsSUvwZ[0-9] ] ]
           [ Blocks ] [ TarFile ] [ InputList ] [ ExcludeFile ]
           [ [ Feet ] | [ Feet@Density ] | [ Blocksb ] ] [-C Directory ] File ...

Code:
# tar -xvf Java5_64.sdk.tar.gz
tar: 0511-169 A directory checksum error on media; 0 not equal to 58224.

hi bakunin, sorry didn't mean it that way, but hey I agree that something went up during my FTP from my local machine to the AIX.

It's kindda weird the ftp is not showing any error (normal ftp from command prompt)..

so what I did was, I ftp using WinSCP. and this time the file transfered to aix was able to be decompressed...using the commands suggested.

thanks again Smilie

Bakunin was correct if this is a .gz file. However from your previous entries and the title of your problem this is a zipped tar file with the suffix .tgz. If this assumption is correct then as I said in previous entry this points towards a file created on a Linux server and will have to extracted on a Linux server using the tar -zxvf command.

So now which is it "install.tgz" or "Java5_64.sdk.tar.gz"? If it is the former then what I said above is correct, if it is the later then the file would have to be unzipped and then the tar -xvf command can be run!
