The command I issue is: tar -xvzf /public_html/ngranic.tar.gz The public_html directory is a subdirectory in my home user (ngranic) = directory, and the one in which I am trying to decompress the compressed = .gz file is backup-dir -- also a subdirectory in my user home directory. The error I get is: No such file or directory. I tried with the ~ sign in front of public_html directory name, but it = didn't help. What else I should try? Many thanks in advance! Ned
