Can I get information on how gtar works.
Perticularly for copping from one system to other.

Hello,

this may help you :

gtar - GNU version of the tar utility. Store directories and files together into a single archive file. Use the normal tar program to backup files to a tape. See info tar for documentation.
gtar cf out.tar dir1 # put contents of directory into out.tar
gtar czf out.tar.gz dir1 # write compressed tar, out.tar.gz
gtar tf in.tar # list contents of in.tar
gtar tzf in.tar.gz # list contents of compressed in.tar.gz
gtar xf in.tar # extract contents of in.tar here
gtar xzf in.tar.gz # extract compressed in.tar.gz
gtar xf in.tar file.txt ... # extract file.txt from in.tar

Stf ;-)
