Is is possible that you reversed the parameters? The "tar" output file comes first, then the remaining parameters are files / folders to include.

tar -cf MyApplication.app MyApplication.tar

=>

tar: MyApplication.app: Cannot open: Is a directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

tar -cf MyApplication.tar MyApplication.app

=>

success!


The problem is that it, being Linux doesn't seem to like mac .app packages. That's the rub.

tar: /Users/...app/: Cannot open: Is a directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

could someone try this with a standalone.app being tarred?



Thanks for the tip on using   tar  to compress nested folders.

I did the following on Mac OSX 10.5.4

= 3 folders containing two files with the same name
--nestedFolder
------folder01
----------index.php
------folder02
----------index.php
