installing .tar files
I am new to this. Can anyone tell me how to install .tar files? I have searched several forums and found instructions such as install or make commands. How do I get a command prompt? My computer runs on windows 98. The software I want to install was downloaded to my computer via the net. I want it installed on my website server. The only access that I have is to this server is ws_ftp95. What do I need to do?
Thanks in Advance, Walt

Hi Walt,
Someone may correct me on this but I believe that tar is a UNIX utility but that you can expand tar files on Windows and retrieve their contents with Winzip. What OS is your website server? If it is a UNIX server and you can ftp the tar file to it and then connect and get a UNIX command prompt you can use the following couple of commands: $ tar tvf filename # to table the contents of the tar file (view its contents) $ tar xvf filename # to extract the contents of the tar file Otherwise you could try untarring the file on you PC with Winzip and then ftping all the files over to the website server. Hope this helps, Andy
