Hi,

Here is command to create tar file which includes the content of directory and sub directory:

tar -zcvf dir_archieve.tar.gz dir_name

Following command is used to uncompress the content of the tar.gz file:

tar -zxvf dir_archieve.tar.gz

Above command will extract the content of the tar.gz file.

If you want to preserve the permission of the folder while creating tar.gz file use following command:

tar -pcvzf  dir_archieve.tar.gz dir_name

The -pcvzf is used for this.

To extract it with the permission intact use following command:

tar -pxvzf dir_archieve.tar.gz

This the way of working with the archiving and unarchiving in linux system using terminal.

Thanks
