You should be able to change it in the web interface.

The *bsd distributions are derived from unix, not linux, and stay faithful to
the original tools to a greater extent than linux distributions which tend to
rely on the GNU tools and their extensions. It's not that one is better/less
difficult, you just seem to be used to something different. If they include
gnu
tar, they might call it gtar so as not to conflict with (their) standard copy.

I'd use rsync just on general principles. It understands deletions and old
files in locations under renamed directories where tar doesn't.
