How can i fix this so i can run tar? The other problem that you have is that you're sending HTML formatted messages. You should probably turn that off, as it only limits the ability for many people to read your messages. As to the "tar -x" problem, I have a suggestion. The tar program is built for Tape ARchives and likes to use tape drives. You're probably trying to use it with a file, though. If so, try something like "tar xvf file.tar" or, in the case of compressed archives, "tar zxvf file.tar.gz".
