How you can create as you stated above,in this case as well if you don't have permissions on Production server?

Further to the good point made by "panyam".

Do you have unrestricted "root" access to Shell on both servers? If not, what access do you have?

What is the full hierarchial directory of the "vio" directory mentioned in post #1 ? Can you create directories and files under the parent directory on the target computer?

What in unix command terms is "email parsing".

Are you using some sort of enhanced unix mail on both servers? This question is about whether you can save a file attachment directly to the target server or have some other method in mind.

How big is the "vio" directory?

Does every file and directory owner have the same unix UID and GID on the source and target computers? This is so important when moving archives from one unix server to another. There are advanced techniques which include sorting out the UID and GID issues before creating the archive.

What Operating System and version are the source and target computers?
What Shell do you use on the source and target computers?

Footnote: Depending on what Operating Systems are revealed I'd be more likely to use "cpio" than "tar" because "cpio" will archive any type of file.
