   How did you intend to get logged into the "remote server?  rsh?  ssh?
Other?  How did you intend to transfer the ".tar.gz" file to the "remote
server"?  FTP?  NFS?  rcp?  scp?  Other?

   After you transfer the file to the remote system, you could, on the
"remote server", use a command like:

      gzip -cd abc.tar.gz | tar xf -

   Rather than create "abc.tar.gz", you could do everything in one
command pipeline like the following:

      tar cf - abc | \
       rsh remote_host ' ( cd <dest_dir> ; gzip -cd - | tar xf - )  '

   A Web search for terms like, say:

      tar  pipeline

should find many examples and refinements.

Hello  Steven Schweda, 

Thanks for reply..  but my query is that i have backup file abc.tar.gz on one server and i want to transfer, unzip and untar it on another hpux server. because i have limited disk space that i want this solution in one step. 

Is there any single command that will transfer, unzip and untar in single command.

   "transfer" how?

   Still wondering.  Do you ever answer questions, or do you only ask
more?  (Or the same ones again?)

I somehow omitted the "gzip" part of that.  Perhaps better:

      tar cf - abc | gzip -c | \

   Still true.

   A more general form:

      ( cd <src_dir> ; tar cf - <src> | gzip -c ) | \
       rsh <remote_host> ' ( cd <dest_dir> ; gzip -cd - | tar xf - ) '

> [...] i have backup file abc.tar.gz on one server [...]

   So, change the first line to:

      cat abc.tar.gz | \

> [...] i have limited disk space [...]

   That's why making "abc.tar.gz" is a poor idea, when you can do
everything in one pipeline without saving the intermediate data in a
file anywhere.  (See "A more general form", above.)

   Instead of "rsh", you could use "ssh".  Whichever works between your
systems.
