Just to amplify that a bit, with $ representing the shell prompt: to create a tarball: $ tar -cvzf name_of_archive_to_create directory_to_send That will show you the files in "directory_to_send" being wrapped up. If it's only one file at a time, just give the filename. Use a relative path, not an absolute one, so you can restore anywhere you want. To unpack, cd into the directory you want to use, and execute $ tar -xzvf name_of_archive_to create If you don't want to see all the filenames, omit the "v" option. The "f" option must be the last thing before the filename. HTH. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
