I got a file called file.tar.gz from my hosting. How can I uncompress this file on a Centos server from command line? I want all the files extracted the the current directory that I am in. I imagine this would work for Windows?

I think you can try typing this command:
$ tar xvzf file.tar.gz -C /path/to/somedirectory
It should extract to your current directory.

Make sure that your file.tar.gz is in your current folder, you can use this command ll to check files in a folder


After that type:
gzip -d file.gz
For other file formats, you can use these commands

zip file
Code:
unzip file.zip
tar file
Code:
tar -xvf file.tar
gz or tar file

Code:
gzip -d file.tar.gz
and then

Code:
tar -xvf file.tar
tgz file
Code:
tar -xvzf file.tgz
Hope that helped.
