Hello,

I tried to create a tar file in zip format as following:-

[thomas@localhost assignment_3]$ tar -cvfz ass3.tgz *
tar: ass3.tgz: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
ass3
assFiles.tar
:
:
working/myapp.ex.4.2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

What's wrong in the command? Please advise and correct usage.

THanks!
regards,
thomas

replace:

tar -cvfz ass3.tgz *

with:

tar -cvzf ass3.tgz *

It should be -cvzf not -cvfz.
